    You and your W'rose van cope with that sort of thing every day of the week eh @Hostafan1 ;)

    Never mind that, what if they had met someone coming the other way?
    You'd be surprised how many people are useless at reversing, even round here on the single track roads (no passing places) they struggle.

    I love coming bumper to bumper on a narrow road with an idiot who doesn't know how to reverse ... you can tell that he looks at me and sees an older lady with white hair and presumes I won't be able to reverse and he then begins to look panic-struck realising he''ll have to reverse ... then I slip my car into reverse and reverse quickly and easily back the way I came until I come to a passing place ... and he drives past without being able to look me in the eye ... not even a thumbs up the majority of times.

    You don't grow up on a farm without being able to reverse a vehicle around a bend ... and manoevre the trailer you're towing into a barn doorway.  🚜

    Our RTBC our Christmas prezzie to us has arrived at last. This is to balance the one on the other side of the steps down to the garden. 

    It's still wrapped up , better picture to follow when it's planted.

    Same here Dove plus it's easier for me to reverse than to wait for the other to mess up their reverse and have to start again.

    There’s a lot to be said for a cool kitchen @Hostafan1 😉 

    @BenCotto … that’s the link Hosta posted that we were referring to 🤣
