   I'm cheerfully walking down a well trodden field path when I am hailed by a geezer from his entirely separate garden (couple of acres attached to very expensive house):
   Him: "excuse me the foot path is over there (gestures)"
   Me: are you the landowner?
   Him: well, no.
   Me: shrugs and walks on
   him: (tirade of abuse at me as I walk)

   We need more guillotines in this country, that's all I'm saying

     I bet he sprinted indoors to type an enraged post on FB or nextdoor

     Sounds like the ideal location for a mass trespass!

     I fully appreciate the fact that my land lords / owners are the absolute opposite of this, they never put any signs up, never do any nasty ''make it difficult' bs, and actually like it when people walk through their land, they say "It's nice to have a chat, you never know who you will meet".

     I am not into promoting violence and murder though, that just makes you exactly like them 🤷

     But the thing is there's no trespass involved. This is the new owner of a house next to a field he doesn't own trying to police who walks on a well trodden path that people have used for decades, even if it isn't a formal right of way.

     That's even funnier!

     I guess in his mind he bought the house and therefore everything he surveys is now his 🤣

     I assumed it was a trespass, but it makes no difference - it's absolutely party time in that field 🥳

     I dislike stereotypes but he really might as well have had "entitled busybody boomer" stamped on his forehead.

     This was a very familiar, peculiarly English,.type of encounter. Wealth and entitlement was the context, I see as a legacy of feudalism.
     It survives because our revolution was overturned, I think.
     He was probably so angry because I didn't recognise his right to tell me what to do.

     @botvolution not long ago, i disembarked from my bus with my bike at my job and pedaled the couple hundred feet down the sidewalk to my building. I saw some old man walking the other way on the sidewalk, so i slowed way down and move all the way over. He yelled at me they i should be riding in the street. I told him to find something else to do besides complain.
