I was walking along through the park one Sunday morning when a whole group of "recreational walkers" overtook me, dressed in their usual uniform of Jack Wolfskin or North Face. Some walking two or even three abreast, chatting away to each other. They were probably intoxicated from the night before as they were all over the footpath - some walking on the left, some on the right, some even walking along the grass!<br />A couple were drinking whilst walking, sipping some kind of hot takeaway beverage and one was eating a muesli bar (possibly choc chip, or maybe raisin) but clearly all were being distracted whilst using the footway.<br /><br />Clearly it was a morning of chaos on the footpaths that day as a few minutes later I encountered a jogger speeding past in the other direction, with earphones in so would be deaf to their surroundings of over-eager dogs or wayward ducks.<br /><br />A bloomin' menace I tell thee.Joffhttp://blog.jofftastic.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031352915519488668.post-5655527688549034232013-12-11T10:11:31.104+00:002013-12-11T10:11:31.104+00:00Did you show the old lady any respect?

Perhaps if you paid some petrol tax towards those pavements that have been constructed at vast expense to and held a sign with a registration number at all times you could be held accountable for your actions.Olihttp://twitter.com/olicivnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031352915519488668.post-43788228402219189432013-12-10T15:17:01.466+00:002013-12-10T15:17:01.466+00:00Ouch!

Be careful out there, the pavements are pretty gruesome at this time of the year ;-)Chris Roubaixnoreply@blogger.com
