I was shocked by the level of assaults both verbal and physical on the guys and girls working doing their jobs, trying to fix the UK roads, there was a piece on the national news a couple of weeks ago...Southampton snapshot here, for clarity it's drivers not cyclists going rather ott GRRRR at the unacceptability of delays getting to the shops, hair dressers etc...

Could it be a selfish, angry- mad people problem with a dash of their perception about the busy ness of their lives and it's demands, getting away from them? An emotional, irrational response to a perception of Chaos... Actually being moved to have a pop, lash out at the folks whether physical or verbal, hard working folks just trying to fix the bloody roads in somewhat dangerous conditions, that seems, well a bit mad...very far from the phlegmatic character traditionally ascribed to the British.
