Amen.

Yes and yes.
One of my many pet hates is the whole 'reacting to someone being a twat somehow makes you the twat' thing.
The lady this morning who did an ill-advised overtake, then cut across me to turn left whilst shaking her head - she was a twat and deserved having it shouted at her. Amazed even having a 2-year old on my bike didn't make her think twice.

See this I can get behind - calling out antisocial behaviour is in general a Good Thing. But it usually only works for me if it's done in a conciliatory tone of voice with a smile on your face, rather than with expletives and hand signs

I can't let it go. Never. Even off the bike. On the train to a bbq in Godalming on Saturday I had words with a young lady sitting behind playing loud music in the quiet zone and a young lad sitting opposite who'd made himself comfy by placing his scruffy trainers up on the seat next to me. Both grunted but complied. My wife shrunk and cringed and wanted to leave. Then afterwards I overheard her telling friends at the barbie how I'd been so good about it all. This morning i had words with a BMW motorcyclist in the bike box in Regents Park. Not good enough my friend. Show some fucking respect. Don't wait until a tower burns down before getting all neighbourly and selfless. Just fucking do it. Rant over.
