Dear young farmer,

The 18 inch gap that you left between the huge nearside back wheel of your tractor and my right elbow wouldn't have been enough at 10 mph. It was an effing disgrace at 30+ mph. And I'd like to point out to you that your trailer is 18 inches wider than your tractor so you only actually left me 9 inches.

And then you veered further left as you were passing on the narrow road because of oncoming traffic ... :cursing:

Still, a (3-4 inch) 'miss is as good as a mile', eh? :eek:

And while I'm at it ...

Dear Range Rover Discovery driver - if you see a cyclist descending a short, narrow lane at speed in the middle of the road, it means 2 things:

(1) You are only going to get 'held up' for about 2 seconds, so please hang back.

(2) There isn't room for you to go by, which is why the cyclist is making it obvious by riding in the middle of the road.

So don't just force your way past anyway. Oh, you just did!

There was a headwind so the cyclist could not hear you coming. The space occupied by your car was about to be taken by the cyclist moving right to avoid a patch of gravel in the road, but he spotted the sudden arrival of your car in his peripheral vision and swerved left instead.

Cheers for that! :wacko:

Yes, because I usually stay quiet about this stuff and don't want to appear as fed up as I am.

Me *in my head* : Well I would rather have been on a yacht being fed grapes by Chris Evans (Captain America - not the weird ginger one) and being fanned by Ryan Gosling.
Me *in Reality* : Yeah it was alright....:cursing:

We can guess that you have a very poor taste in Music by looking at your attire, so really, you don't need to confirm our suspicions and embarrass yourself by playing the noise at high volume from your car. It doesn't make you look cool and rebellious, it just makes you look a twit.

That said, I appreciate that you waited until there was enough space to overtake. You may have a tin ear sir, but you are at least not a boor.

Credit where credit is due.

Stop crying you babies, he is a contractor whose contract has not been extended. All your complaints in the team meeting will not get his job back. Yes the team will be one man down and this will mean that you need to do some work instead of surfing the internet on your phones and gossiping like a bunch of old woman.

MTFU
