PEOPLE of St Briavels could you please make an extra effort to be a little more polite, especially when driving in your cars?

Once again today (Monday), I was driving through the village when I had to pull over to let the car coming in the other direction pass me, all I received was a glum face and a nose stuck up in the air! I was also driven off the road by another car today too, which left me quite shaken up and I'm an experienced driver! Unfortunately this happens on a regular basis.

Even when walking around the village, most people don't speak and are extremely miserable!

So please, please, people of St Briavels, try to cheer up just a little bit. I mean, after all, it's such a beautiful area and we are so blessed to be living here and we don't have to face the hardship that the poor people of Japan have to put up with now do we?

A smile costs nothing and it makes everyone feel good!
