    If the road is clear then I will cross, even when I have my children with me. I have taught them how to cross safely and that the green man is just to help. I have also taught them to look even when to green man is showing as I have seen many cars ignore the lights and drive right through.
  • i cross when its safe in my opinion. if someone shouts abuse at me they might just get it back and welcome to life in the north
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)
    BH is my best mate too, its ok :)

    I trust BH even if he's from Manchester.. ;)

    all your base are belong to us :eek:
  • I cross the road when it is safe, but if someone is there with children, then I always wait for the greenlight.

    I cross when & where it's safe to do so. Everyone else is free to do the same. Can't believe that the OP was 'told off' by a mother with her children there, suspect that the setting an example/irony button was stuck at the time! :rolleyes:
