Took my mother out on some lanes on Sunday and on one section there was an elderly couple walking their dog in the other direction. I pulled over and waited. The woman got ahead of her husband because the elderly dog was lagging behind an he was left to retrieve it. She stopped at the passenger window and apologised for keeping us waiting, then asked if it was OK to walk along this lane! Now, that made a change :lol:
I informed her it was actually a road, which made her smile as she looked at the surface! Then her husband turned up and after a bit more conversation, off they went.
We must have met at least a dozen walkers and all smiled and thanked us for pulling over. We even had an audience at one of the fords... kids waving, etc. :D
There is simply no substitute for politeness. A commodity sadly lacking these days. Helped make a very pleasant afternoon.
