Does attempted count?
Yesterday in Grassmarket Edinburgh...
Elderly lady kept walking into road, looking at traffic and returning to kerb.Obviously having great problems crossing the road.
Being a good egg, I stepped out boldly, stopped a helpful driver and said "Its OK to cross now!"
She replied......
"I'm not trying to cross, I'm waiting for my Son, I just want to see if he is coming"
Foiled - have to return my Boy Scout road crossing badge now!
