How could he be expected to see the give way markings? They are so faded!!

What give way markings?

Is that red brick building one of the sights of Norwich?
Looks nice, might go for a weekend break.

See the wisteria, right background? Sarah Anne Glover who lived there invented the Do Re Mi system, you massive racist.

Depends how fast he was going and where you were when he emerged from the junction.... it's not necessary to stop at a give way line but he needs to have been going slow enough to check.

Though he have been as shocked as you to have not seen you, he's been an idiot, instead of apologising and being straight with you at the time and in his email, he has compounded the problem. More fool him.

But, the Trip Advisor comments are all very positive and people would have referred to poor driving and a bad attitude if it was something he did regularly. Perhaps now that you've told the Police of his behaviour and they know him, that will highlight any further breaches by him.

I take it he doesn't know what the red triangle with a bicycle in it means.

They already know him well as linked above.....

Cart man jailed for cruelty

A man who ran a service taking tourists to Norwich Cathedral in a horse-drawn cart has been jailed for 28 days for causing unnecessary suffering to the horse.
Frederick Agombar, 54, of Church Farm Cottages, Little Witchingham, Norfolk, admitted the offence when he appeared before Norwich magistrates.

Richard Wood, prosecuting for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), said Agombar had been spoken to about the care of the horse, named Arthur.

The harness did not fit properly, causing the horse to have sores, and it had a chronic breathing condition, said Mr Wood.

On Monday, Agombar denied Arthur had suffered as his sores had been treated.

Jailing him, chairman of the bench Paddy Seligman said he had disregarded professional advice and had carried on regardless.

Agombar was banned from keeping non-domestic animals for five years and the ownership of Arthur, who is about 20, has been handed over to the RSPCA.

Banging on his goose-neck microphone to draw our attention, before turning around to face us (moving his mouth away from the microphone in doing so), and pointing sharply to examples of his various subjects as they pass on either side of the van – all whilst keeping his foot on the accelerator and with his eyes only occasionally on the road.

i was approaching from his right, thankfully not from his left, in his unavoidable guidebook blind spot.

Wow, there's a man who shouldn't be allowed out...

That's a bit harsh, he was only out riding his bike.

I take it he doesn't know what the red triangle with a bicycle in it means.

Once had a conversation with an ex workmate about the triangular cycle sign. They thought it meant "cycles prohibited"... Took some convincing!

And that image effectively demonstrates WHY other tour operators have switched to a driver & announcer team instead of a single staff member. I do hope he actually stops when pointing out things of interest.

I see this chap around. Am yet to have a run in of any kind with him, but will definitely keep an eye out.

I'm pretty pissed off at his reply. Nasty attitude, and a bully.

He is too stupid to have a licence!

It was a she. But certainly not a lady. ;-)
