I now keep count of how many people I see using mobiles on my rides and sometimes shout at the offenders, anyway I'll vent my spleen by signing this:

but maybe Mr Brown is a tad preoccupied with other stuff.
Today as I rode home along my road in the normally tranquil hamlet of Sanderstead a youth fired a plastic pellet at me out of his bedroom window. I both heard and felt it but the stupid boy left his upstairs window open so I knew where to look. I called out that he needed to talk to me or I would call the police. Eventually he appeared and said it was an accident and apologised. This didn't seem very satisfactory and when his mum came on the scene she thought maybe I was over-reacting as 'boys will be boys'. I commented on her parenting skills and left.
Maybe I should chill out, get a life and learn to accept more. Any empathetic counsellors out there? I need help.
