The residents of Steyning have witnessed their first EVER argument and first EVEr swear word in a public street!
I was traveling down church street (from the high street) at a nice cool pace as I was planning my stop for a delivery, during this time I saw a car speeding towards me, I couldn't stop where iwas because the road is narrow along this section and she wouldn't be able to get past, so I needed to continue untill there was more space and we can pass each other nicely.
She didn't stop so we are nose to nose and neither of us can move, me even more so as I'm in a 7 1/2 tonne and with cars behind me. She shouted out her window that she isn't moving, I said fine and turned my engine off and put my feet up..
Meanwhile, there are cars behind both of us now and we are blocking the whole road up which is causing some to blow their horn ( the fun began) this them made every resident of each house, the bakery and even the DENTIST to all come out and witness this amazing occurance. She got out her car so I did too, I offered her to reverse my truck for me she refused (hmm I wonder why) . She then began taking pictures of the van and me (I posed slightly as I can use it for a Facebook profile pic) . She then got up on the Curb and drove away which I did congratulate her on this. I then proceeded about 5 metres ahead and did my delivery, they residents of steyning clapped and one even CHEERED! I came out with some funny remarks and got some laughter. I think I could be a hero of steyning after this, I think each time I go down that road I will recieve cheers, claps and free lemonade. The statue outside of steyning grammar school will be changed to one of me. Thank you people of steyning, thanks for the support.
Sorry for blocking the road up for 10 minutes by the way.
