Coming down Harrow Road a parked car sticks its nose out with the indicators on, and stops. Good, they've seen me I thinks, proceed - with caution. As I get closer they haven't moved so fairly comfortable they are aware of me and waiting for me to pass. Then, suddenly just as I'm about to pass they swing right out into the middle of the road in a u turn fashion and I have to slam it on and do my best at facilitating a skid stop.
"Watch where yer bloody going!" comes the shout from the driver's window. I assume THAT was the point he decided to look in the mirror as he sure as hell couldn't have been saying it to me.
