Give way... and give thanks
The last thing I say to my daughter when dropping her off at a friend's house or a birthday party is "use your manners".
And yet there is a huge area of life where so many people don't seem to think that manners matter: Driving. I like to have a moan about motoring but few things infuriate me more than when I stop to let someone through and they don't raise their hand or flash me in thanks. It makes me so angry in fact that I've been known to pip at someone in fury if they fail to acknowledge me. No doubt someone will point out that strictly speaking you're only supposed to use your horn to alert someone to a danger or your presence but it really does grind my gears when people aren't polite.Is it really so hard to do? And I don't know if it's just me but it tends to be the older drivers who don't say thanks.
And on the topic of horses there's one other thing that winds me up to the point where I've even quizzed a mounted police officer about it at the football. I strongly believe that horse-riders should be forced to pick up after their ponies in the same way dog-owners are.The reason, apparently, they horse-riders aren't required to bag it is because dog poo can contain harmful toxins whereas horse poo doesn't .
