I’m in a similar situation - I badly hurt my best friend from school and we stopped talking. This was over a decade ago. I know from mutual friends that she’s moved away, she’s happy and has children now. Although I really regret how I acted, I think it’s best to just leave it in the past. No need to dredge up old pain for her just so I can feel better for apologising.

Idk if that’s the right answer, but it’s what I’ve chosen.

Drivers in Britain should give way to pedestrians at all junctions, including entrances and exits to all roundabouts. It’s literally in the highway code.

Admittedly it’s only a “should” rather than a “must” for most roundabouts, but still. This is the what driving standards are these days, and it is a good thing. It’s all about protecting the more vulnerable. Car drivers are more dangerous to others than pedestrians are, so car drivers have to take more care and should give priority to the more vulnerable pedestrians.

EDIT: But once again I’ve fallen victim to a classic blunder. The sort of people who would say a roundabout is woke would never care about a well-reasoned argument. And I’m just preaching to the choir in this community anyway!

Very detailed, and that explains a lot, thank you.

It’s ok, we have hamlets here too. I live in one!

That’s different from anything I’ve seen in the UK. Every house seems to be surrounded with lawns and so spread out, and yet you still need whatever that giant building with the green roof and car park is. Presumably a shop? Why’d you need such a big building for so few people? And why are all the houses detached with no terraces? Very strange…

(All of that was rhetorical, I’m sure it makes sense if that’s what you’re used to. And having more room to spread out and less history to deal with)

Cool, thank you

This is why I was confused. There’s no way that’s a town with so few people (from a UK perspective)

Very detailed, thanks :)

No thanks, America is already confusing enough 👍
