Shouted at by walker – what whitty response should I have come up with?

(If you’re in Wales and everyone is Scouse, You live in Rhyl And I Claim My Five Pounds.)

I can vouch that Kevevs is proper Welsh and that.

Can I shoot him with an airgun in Rhyl?

I want to know why I am fair game?

Had to happen eventually, TJ.

(-:

He doesn’t live in Rhyl, he lives in Llandudno. I know, cos I’ve seen it.

The train stopped at Rhyl. Nobody wanted to get off. 😐

I don’t just sound like a Scouser, areithia Cymraeg! 🙂

thanks for your approval elf, I’ll sleep sound now! good night!

😀

Nothing personal, TJ. Just a jokey poke at your adopted countrymen! 🙂

Tell her at least you aren’t spreading toxic dog urine everywhere.

– look down at her feet, pull a face, point at the ground just behind her and say “What is that? Oh My God, that’s DISGUSTING”. Cycle off, she won’t see you go.
– do the same, but stare at her nose
– “Sorry, I don’t undestand you, no, sorry, I don’t understa- look, can you speak English” <mutter as if to yourself> “Bl00dy immigrants, coming over here, can’t even speak the bl00dy language”
– “Sorry, I can’t hear you, no, you’ll have to speak up, sorry do you have a speech impediment or something, OK, THERE@S NO NEED TO FKN SHOUT”
– tell her you’re Dale Winton and the rules don’t apply to you
-“yes madam I realise that but I am an undercover surveillance officer investigaing reports of Islamist fundamentalist terrorists kidnapping small dogs, inserting explosives into them and training them to act as suicide dogs. is that a small dog you have? does it always walk like that? ”

if you meet a disgruntled walker just ask them their opinion on the Kinder Mass trespasses of 1932, this started the whole movement of national parks, right to roam, etc off and is allowing her to walk on the footpath she is on today.

So in effect you are just participating in the same movement as they had back then, just in your own small way.

Do it nicely and you may start off a conversation, although when you show you know more than her she will get more and more uptight in a daily mail kind of way …..I guess you cant win

How about you start off by apologising with something along the lines of ” yeah I’m sorry about this – but it’s the fastest route to avoid the police who were closing in on me, could you deny seeing me if they ask please”?? And then add ” you haven’t come across an axe on your travels have you” ??

For best effect might I suggest you say the above whilst nervously looking over your shoulder ??

I rode some FP’s today in the Lake District and I have to say, the very few walkers who were around were unfailingly polite. To be fair I’d deliberately picked a remote path which required a fair bit of effort to get to and it was very early. I’m not daft enough to try it on a FP in the middle of a honey pot area in the middle of the day.

Lovely ride, saw about 12 people all day!

I’m near Glasgow and I have to say the majority of Dog Walkers I encounter are miserable buggers who never pick up after their hounds and even if they do, they chuck the bag into a tree.

I remain resolutely chipper and polite, possibly more so to the animals because I like dogs.

If the owners are confrontational and the dogs are not in control I’ll point out that the dogs should be in “close control” and mention their obligation to pick up the crap. They will usually tell me to “go away”.

Worst offenders out this way are the professional walkers who have upward of six dogs and don’t pick any of the crap up. I may start filming because it’s not just cyclists, what about families and kids walking in the area? who wants to come back with shoes covered in poo?

who wants to come back with toxoplasmosis?

ftfy

Shut it fatty.

We had a run in with a grumpy old sod (looks & sounds like Colonel K from Dangermouse) who thinks he owns the local woods t’other week. He waved his walking stick at us and bellowed “STOP!” All I managed was to shout HAMMERTIME! over my shoulder as we passed by.

Never been able to think of a suitable response before but was quite pleased with that one. 🙂

Why don’t you throw one of the logs through her window with the message “love from friends of the earth” 😀

I’m near Glasgow

You get static off walkers up here? You do realise that they are talking complete nonsense, right?

I mostly only ever get crap off dog walkers while in Mugdock park, usually when using one of the main paths to connect trails together. This is despite being unfailingly considerate of them.

Tell her that you bought the land and she is trespassing.

Never had any issue with walkers…. or dog walkers, or in fact doggers…. (Mugdock East Car Park, sunset most days – so they say!)

Worst thread revival ever!
Did it take a month to come up with this one?

Shut it fatty.

Sara got stopped by a old bloke last year along a stretch of path by a river (it was a footpath). In the end she asked him whether or not he’d ever been fisted.

That could have ended very badly…

“I see you have small hands! Well I’m game if you are…”
