shouldnt need to slow down if you are at the correct speed for the conditions

Even at the correct speed for conditions its courtesy to slow down if peds are in the road... that's how it goes... It's inconsiderate if you don't, especially on rural roads. I presume you don't the way you're talking...

what about oncoming motorists tractors and dumbasses on bikes?
not just walkers and horse riders

What about them? It's a road last time I checked, you get them on there too, sometimes even 18T Lorries
And yes, you might even see some 'dumbasses on bikes' that you're referring too!

“hmm another daft european directive behind there somewhere methinks”
No Voodoo, very rare I know, but the new guidelines originate from Westminster.
The new draft guidelines ask local traffic authorities to keep speed limits under review and to ‘consider the introduction of more 20mph limits and zones, over time, in urban areas, to ensure greater safety for pedestrians and cyclists’.
Basically, LAs have been given more flexibility with regard to imposing speed limits. There is an ongoing heated debate (local paper) in Frome at the moment over a proposal to introduce a blanket 20mph limit across the whole town. Difficult to gauge public opinion accurately - it would appear however, that more of the Town’s residents are against the proposed new limit.

“once some of the lads were visiting and we were off to the pub. some dumbass little twat came at us on one of those trial bikey bumblebee buzzing things. he was left in the hedge in a stinking pile.”
”the only way to deal the idiots”
Fatbob,
Although I’m horrified and could never condone such action, I do admire your courage however, in making what is tantamount to a public confession

confession???????????
the gentleman lost control and drove into the hedge.
what a terrible choice... the pub or some twat
