Hmm. The translation into English seems slightly 'clunky'. I'd suggest a Scandinavian country: Norway?

If that's the right answer - you're a complete and utter cad, bignosemac!

Before someone cheated, I would have said the Netherlands, or a Scandinavian country.

Let's try and keep this civil and avoid dredging up old posts for the sake of personal attacks please.
tramway, put yourself in SDS pad's position for a moment. If you had to deal with verbal abuse from rude and entitled cyclists every day as part of your working life (regardless of whether or not they are a minority of cyclists) then ask yourself how you'd end up feeling about the issue. Unless you're a saint, I suspect you'd feel like SDS pad too. I've been witness to some absolutely appalling abuse (almost to the point of physical attack) directed from cyclists who assumed it was their god-given right to take their bike on a train towards railway staff who were in the unfortunate position of having to tell them that it wasn't. Most people can only shrug off that kind of behaviour for so long.

Inspector, many thanks. The last few days I have found lot more cyclists are accepting the limits on the trains, but there will always be a few abusive ones  As I said very early on, the majority ruin it for the minority. |

If that's the right answer - you're a complete and utter cad, bignosemac! My I take this opportunity to apologise most humbly and unreservedly for 'cheating' on basset44's poser. I succumbed to temptation and 'cut and pasted' the text he'd posted into Google, which gave up the answer immediately. So yes, as CfN said, I'm a complete and utter cad (a three letter 'C' word used in place of the four letter one CfN was thinking of, no doubt.) It's not much of a defence, but I was a little drunk at the time. Still, as a moderator I should know better.  I've slapped my own wrist.... hopefully that self-admonishment is enough...... |
