Common Courtesy and the half way rule

Graham Elliott said:
Paul. I think if you asked a question like.

Is it bad form to set up directly opposite someone already fishing when there is plenty of river space available? then I hope 90pc would have said yes.

If that isn't the general rule of good manners, heaven help us brothers of the angle...........

I have to agree, perhaps you have to be from a certain time to see that this case in question is as I have said just bad form on the part of the latecomer.
 
I reckon we can get to 150 posts Nick, no problem. I was thinking that this is a bit similar to the time I found a girlfriend of mine playing naked twister with a "mate". In many respects no laws were being broken (except the laws of physics perhaps-he was a gymnast) and, as adults, they had every right to do what they were doing. But I recall reflecting on all this, and not wanting to diminish or invalidate their rights and so on, I did start to consider that it wasn't terribly courteous or polite of them both.

I mean, the Twister game was a gift from my gran.

:) very funny Howard.
 
Howard. I couldn't agree more. Nude Twister was invented to be played in a cupboard anyway, away from prying eyes..

Still don't agree, The op was right to concede. The fact that he knew the channel was on the opposite side of the river should have made that swim out of bounds anyway then this situation would not have arisen.

I also had a situation where I found a girlfriend playing naked twister with a mate, both of them were gymnasts and specialists in the balance beam, I thought it was jolly rude of them not to invite me to play.
