With the Mrs. As some of you may know, Mrs EGF has been very ill lately but is happily a bit better, so today we had a ride to Swinsty reservoir to sit in the sun for some tranquil time.
Only, there's some fat bloke with a FUS (Fat Ugly Smoking) wife, a kid & a dog. Typically he has to be either shouting for/at the dog or the kid so that everyone between Swinsty & Otley can hear him. The dog was an ancient lab that was hobbling around & doing no harm & the kid was near the FUSwife, a lot quieter than big boy.
Why do some people have to be heard wherever they are?
I did laugh when they went & saw FUSwife load herself into a Peugeot 106 though.
The moral of this story is that much like children, FUH (fat ugly husbands) should be seen but not heard?
If they were thin and good looking would it have made a difference?

Not a jot. I would've still described them.
Don't move to Spain.
Move on to Fewston ?
I have several places I can go where I can just sit looking out at a lovely view, and barely see another soul.
Did it on Sunday, there's a nice little walk I do that brings me back across a field, with a sort of seat made from some breeze blocks with a railway sleeper set on top, tucked into a corner of a hedge, and looks right down the valley towards Bath with the Mendip transmitter way off in the distance. I sat there for an hour or so in the sunshine, reading a book on my phone, looking out at the view, with only the skylarks all around me for company.
It was blissful.
The first people I saw were some locals taking their dogs for a walk while I was on my way back to the village for a pint and a packet of crisps.
I have other places, none of them more than a short drive away.
Move on to Fewston ?
I should've done BB but it had taken Mrs EGF 10 mins to walk 100mtrs already. Should've gone to Fewston initially but there'd probably be some handsome hunk gobbing off at his prize poodle there as well! 😆

We have loads as well, unfortunately..

Or better still, Thruscross.
Reservoirs are quite large in my experience, and avoiding two other people should be fairly trivial.
I take your point and agree though. The other day I'd to endure two people having a conversation in the kitchen at work, both bellowing at each other sat on tables at opposite sides of the room with me in the middle. Why not, y'know, move to the same table?

It's the uncontrollable symptom for some.
Plenty of shouty shouty people here in the Toon. Very common.
"Hailey! Hailey! Hailey!" The boy shouting from one end of the street.
"What! What! What!" A reply from the girl from the other end of the street.
😯
Cannock's Tackeroo campsite can be an oasis of calm and tranquility and because of this sound really carries e.g the couple who were arguing about parking:
"Goo an ask em!"
"They woh know f all!"
"Fin ask em!"
"F off!"
"Doh tell me ter * off yer ****!"
Lovely people 🙂
A bloke moved in down the road from us.
He literally shouted the whole time. He wasn't deaf as you could talk to him in a normal voice, he didn't maintain eye contact to lip read and he'd always shout back his part of the conversation.
It was a row of terraces - his immediate neighbour eventually sold up as they could hear him through the wall and in the garden shouting at his wife and kids every time he wanted to communicate. If he got excited/cross he moved from shouting to bellowing.
As far as I know no one mentioned it, his wife and children just accepted it and he's still out their somewhere communicating to everyone, all the time, with the volume turned up to 11.

"Look look! It's that nutter Chewkw from STW! I thought he was made up, y'know a product of the Matrix but he's real - apparently" 😉
They are delusional if they just think they are out of the matrix coz they are the reason matrix is here. 😆boblo - Member

What did he want to tell Hailey?

What did he want to tell Hailey?
Basically, he just wanted Hailey to go over but Hailey insisted he went over instead, so the conversation go back and forth for a while. Then Hailey finally gave up by walking slowly towards him but instead of waiting, he started walking slowly away from her and the conversation went on shouty shouty at each other. (all this in a very strong local accent)
Very odd behaviour. 😯
Our next door neighbour's default mode of communication is shouting. She's also managed to pass this onto her children.

They probably wanted to sit near you because you come across like such a lovely chap.
You could have moved?
But I'm with you on loud people.
