    Sure.

    What's wrong with expecting one road user to show a duty of care to another, even with something a simple as pulling away a little to allow them to use the (sole) pump of a petrol station?

    To do otherwise is, in my view, selfish.

      Granted.

      But if they don't, it's Ok to react like that?

      Blah, anyway, let's call it a day!

        Scarily I knda agree,

        His actions were over the top - hugely - and there is no justification for the racism at all.

        However, if the woman really had left her car there for 20mins while she was in the shop, then that is out of order.

        Rightly or wrongly, I certainly would have had words with her.

          And so the guy's reaction of using threatening behavior and racist language was entirely appropriate In you view?

              Am I allowed to have a pims? Just fancy one, but worried I'll get booted out for asking for salad (which would happen round here).

                You can have what you like.

                Pimms is good. I prefer a bit more sun before I do Pimms, but now you've mentioned it, I could definitekly nail a jug or two.

                  Started on it already?

                  I s'pose you're going to get me now for spelling Pimms wrong, duh.

                      No, I let it slide, but secretly I have a lower opinion of you now.
