I had similar on the Regents Canal path near Islington recently. Posh entitled-sounding old lady positioned herself to minimise the useable path around her, I pulled to the left between two mooring bollards and stopped (with her probably 5 metres away so well in advance) to let her pass. As she got closer she called, imperiously; "I'm sorry to say that you are going far too fast!".
Quoth I; "I'm stationary".
No response from the old bat.

Rolling slowly up to the red light at the East Street junction this morning, a proper crazy posh old lady starts yelling at me "STOOOOOOP STOOOOP YOU NEED TO STOP! If you run me down you'll be in prison in 2minutes." I had stopped! All I could do was point at the line and laugh nervously, I could justify retaliating to an old crazy person. It made everyone in the street turn and look at me as if I was about to nick her pension money. Worst still, a city sprint courier rolled through the red just as she got to the other pavement.
