Weird road incident in Sheffield this morning

For those who are local – Bannerdale road

9am

2 drivers nose to nose both refusing to move.

Van driver gets it and has a fag

Car driver reclines seat and dozes off

I knocked on the window and asked him politely to reverse and get the traffic flowing

His retort was a dozy “I’m retired, I’ve got no where to go, he can move”

Van driver could not, even if he’d have wanted to, move!

This stand off lasted at least 15 minutes!

Very odd indeed

Selfish ****.

Totally

The lad who got out of the delivery lorry thought so too when he shouted ” someone best move otherwise I’ll start punching your heads!

I’m retired

I believe there’s a thread about that.

Who backed down?

Encountered same situation last Thursday in the labyrinthian single track roads in the Gleniffer Braes above Paisley, drop side Cooncil Transit nose to nose with an SUV. Took great delight in hopping of my stead climbing on to the narrow grass verge and leaving them to it. Probably still there.

@blackhat not a clue, left them too it. I’m not in the luxurious position of buying retired

This thread is missing the customary “I keep a paperback in my glovebox…” anecdote.

Standards are slipping.
