Am I alone or do any of your other readers find the rudeness on our roads unacceptable?
Unacceptable? It’s bloody disgraceful. Having lived abroad for many years - leaving Ireland as the land of a hundred thousand welcomes, Saints and Scholars and leprechauns – I returned to a Celtic Tiger who in its rush to fill up the coffers to overflowing, banished any semblance of manners not only on the roads but everywhere else as well. Why, I thought, don’t the parents teach their children good manners, only to find that, in a lot of cases, it was the little old ladies who pushed past without so much of a backwards glance never mind a thank you when I opened a door or offered a seat! Fit to kill and unwilling to embrace this new rude culture I decided to make a game out of it by each day counting just how many rude piggy’s I encounter roaming loose on our city streets.
