@Crucial when I used to go running, other runners, walkers and cyclists were rarely polite and didn't move on the left, rarely got a nod, smile or thanks when I moved out of thier way..was tempted to brace for the impact a few times, but decided I would just be being a Cnut. Dog walkers were always polite when I was out running though...and the above usually was irrelevant of age brackets.
As to the drivers, we are mostly arsehole drivers, I found Brits largely very considerate.

Stuff is saying the drivers been caught ,
And in a lesson more useful in the "fake news" thread. Stuff is wrong. Shocking.
Look at the places people are citing re this on this page - Stuff, Daily Mash & random guysTwitter feeds...
Citing is a strong word for linking to the Daily Mash for a laugh!

@taniwharugby Yep, I found driving in the UK great, I drove in London for a year and the traffic flowed because they followed the merge like a zip rule at every intersection (even T intersections).
However, this is balanced out by the fact they come down to the SH and have no beach etiquette and decide it's their own personal ash tray, rubbish dump and night club.

Good point. Back to the circle jerk:

Let's gather to talk in this entrance/exit, ignorant of all others wishing to use it.

I'll just stop at this station ticket entrance/exit and dig around for my ticket, ignorant of all others I'm blocking from using it.

Let's gather bang in the middle of this walkway and talk, ignorant of all the other foot traffic having to awkwardly navigate around us.

Oh a car is waiting to turn right of this main thoroughfare and has left loads of room to go around, I'll just wait behind them anyway (Also loved by Sydney-siders).
Sounds like standard big city behaviour.

Fair enough. If I was only talking about a big city.

I actually thought Londoners were pretty polite compared to Oslo. They literally never line up for buses. People just pile in. And of course they never move away when people exit the train. I used to take my son one stop on the train in his pram for kindergarten and people would not move as I carried it off (stairs on train). I'm not sure what the hell they expected me to do. I either screamed for them to get the fuck out of the way, or used the wheels of the pram as a weapon. I remember one stupid bitch who didn't move, ended up with a lovely slush and dirt skidmark on her cream coat.
Glad to be back in the burbs with the trusty Honda. Fark trains and fark Oslo.

@mariner4life they seem a fertile couple, he only has one wife though so he's still not pulling his weight.
