... I came out of Argos (shop) and got into my car. I reversed out of the space and was about to pull off when a car coming the opposite way pulled over to the wrong side of the road in front and stopped to let the passenger out. It was a fairly old couple (50's) and my wife and I had a little chuckle about it while the woman got out of the car, opening her door into the other side of the road (there were no cars coming). Anyway, the old chap driving didn't seem too pleased because he made some gesture with his hand like a sock puppet talking if you know what I mean. Still smiling I stuck my two fingers up at him for being cheeky. He then pulled alongside my car and wound down his window so I did the same. He then said (in this really funny voice) "Comments like that are liable to have you brought before a court of law for behaviour liable to cause a breach of the peace"! I replied, in as courteous a manner as possible whilst trying not to burst out laughing, that he had in fact pulled over onto the wrong side of the road in front of me as indicated by the arrow on the road (which he had parked on). He then replied "I bet you have a nice driving license" and drove away.
I was still laughing about it 10 minutes later. While it was funny under these circumstances though, imagine if I had been some short tempered nutter instead of the laid back person I am - I could have taken a crowbar to his head or something.
This months
Twerps Peerage might be a little bit late on account of me forgetting to do it. I have only one piece of inspiration at the moment so unless I get my creative juices flowing in the next 30 minutes it's going to be late. Sorry Twerps fans (are there any out there?).
I got a link from
Telford Live yesterday. It's a forum for Telford (the name gives it away) and it's only been going for a couple of weeks but it's looking promising already. If you have any link to Telford ... or not ... pop along and join in.
