It’s offical

I do that too but shout' Look Out'...males them jump.

Hetty58 I did that once as I was having a particularly painful day so feeling a little grumpy and moving wasn't easy. Sadly the teen just knocked into me with their heavy rucksack, resulting in me having to go to physiotherapy. However it helped me with a long suffering problem quicker, as I became an urgent case!

Brilliant

?

With you 100% Hetty58.

I tend to stop and just stand still. No way am I dodging out of the way for other people. I smile at them or have a giggle too. (They don't like that.)

I particularly hate cyclists speeding by, overtaking me on the pavement. What if I just happened to change walking direction?

Love it Hildagard I have the same problem with cyclists riding on the pavement and also groups of two or more people walking towards me on a narrow pavement expecting me to step off into the road so that they can continue their chat. (Sadly not always youngsters)
Can't stop smiling at the reaction you got though

Good for you.
