What's the point in fishing if you don't eat the result?

Would you eat something you caught in the canal?

I liked the illustration they used for this on Facebook

First time I've ever seen a Duck Lane!

But it is only a painted one and guaranteed cars will be parking in it before long!!

I'm never quite sure how to 'give way' to pedestrians - if they are going your way you tinkle your bell cheerfully and say hello, and they move over so you can overtake saying 'thanks!' If they are going the opposite way they see you and stand or walk to one side so you can cycle past. I've sometimes stopped to let pedestrians walk past but have been beckoned to cycle on as they stand to one side. That's if it all goes well! I do stop and let people walk past if I'm on a path where I'm not sure I'm supposed to be cycling though!

I think by saying 'give way to pedestrians' they have not used quite the right phrase. Probably giving them priority is closer to what the people behind the leaflet intended. This is pretty much what you are doing — slowing down, taking care, letting them know you are there in a courteous and non-demanding way, being prepared to stop in order that they can continue walking. Generally, treating others as more important than yourself. Politeness and consideration.

That sums it up IMHO,consideration and being polite costs nothing,unfortunately for some you'd think it costs the earth
