IN order to visit my hairdresser on the Spetchley Estate today, I decided to walk.
Sometimes I go by car but, at 4.15pm when I return home, it becomes a nightmare to try to get out from the estate on to the main Spetchley Road.
The road is congested with buses and cars picking up students from the Sixth Form College, not to mention those students who completely ignore the motorist, thinking the road belongs to them and just walk out "ad lib" into the path of any moving vehicle along the said road.
Today, however, I was even more appalled. The footpath was completely blocked with students at the bus stop.
They made no effort to move to allow other pedestrians to walk along the path, but proceeded to knock or bump me with their bags as I desperately tried to find a passageway along the path.
Have manners today gone completely out of the window?
I was always taught to respect my elders or, indeed, any other members of the community.
It seems that today the attitude is "walk over anyone who happens to be in your pathway".
