On the plus side at least motorists can't drive into the canal like they do here in the valley. |

There's nothing to stop you reading what I posted. Here are a couple of clues that might help - I inserted the word "always" and I didn't use the word "speeding". You seem to have forgotten the accusations made by the pedestrian against cyclists. He is there on the spot. I am not. I assume that you are not on the spot either. Of the three of us, which is the most likely to have an accurate picture of the behaviour of cyclists there? Your responses to me have nothing to do with the reply I sent to SJ. |

Of the three of us, which is the most likely to have an accurate picture of the behaviour of cyclists there? Your responses to me have nothing to do with the reply I sent to SJ. More to the point, your response to mine has nothing to do with the point I made in a response to one of yours. Have a look at the attribution list above. It runs like this: 04/10/2018 12:45, TMS320 28/09/18 20:58, JNugent 28/09/2018 20:49, TMS320 28/09/18 20:06, JNugent 28/09/2018 20:04, TMS320 28/09/18 12:57, JNugent 28/09/2018 00:33, TMS320 25/09/18 17:47, Simon Jester See? From that, it follows that you attempting to hide behind a (poor) excuse). My reply was to you, replying to me. Now... back to the canal boat man... You seem to have forgotten the accusations made by the pedestrian against cyclists. He is there on the spot. I am not. I assume that you are not on the spot either. Of the three of us, who is the most likely to have an accurate picture of the behaviour of cyclists there? Or is the only possible answer too "difficult" to give? |
