In this case Shaf', it really is about the taking part because there is no 'winning' and no one can ever accuse you of not taking part fella
Thanks Stu... very much appreciated. One thing I will say is that its the first time I had 2 proper incidents in a very long time. They were as follows:
1. Dump truck going uphill waited patiently before overtaking. 2 young chavs (is that politically incorrect yet or we still good with it
) behind him on the moped. One of em shouts 'gerr-off the road'. I shout back with something Dave would be pleased of. They didn't get very far as they couldn't overtake the dump truck anyway. But the young one on the back kept looking back to the point I had to start preparing myself mentally (for a brawl
). Somewhere between Chesterfield and Belper.
2. I was well on the way back home by now. Minding my own business and about 6 miles remainder before home, coffee, back yard bivy. Some more chavs (this time local asian prototypes) went past (in a Toyota of some sort... not too big, nor too small, so I'd put em in their early 20s). Pitch black with my lovely Exposure on medium-blast. Street lighting somewhere, maybe up yonder. SPLASH, then a big laff. The chav in the passenger seat had done a 'Dukes of Hazzard' and sat outta the window, got up close and thrown a laod of water from a 5L bottle (I saw it as he tucked his sorry self back in the car.
Tried to give chase, but no foul language. Just a polite, 'oh, thanks'. They kind of did me a favour as I was steaming a little up the hill before the splashing (all over my back). Thankfully the chase involved a 9% climb and by the time I'd reached the traffic lights they were long gone....
Interesting ride but well worth it and the BAM is strong (in me) this time...
