    So I am walking a footpath on my way from work and there are a number of people that are walking towards me, on the same footpath. There is no space for all of us. Should I step aside, to the road/cycling track? What should I do?

    Is this happening right now? Present tense? Are they gone yet?

    Stop and let them pass you in an orderly fashion.

    I would just ask myself "What would Kylie Minogue do?"

    You should be so lucky.

    No, it's just that I use Kylie Minogue as the yardstick for all matters of grace and decorum.

    Don't you?

    Stand firm, hold your ground and pretend your a bowling ball and they are your skittles.

    The person facing the traffic should step off the path if the way if clear.

    So I thought, but they don't seem to comply with this rule at all. Women in particular. Not being sexist, but...

    If they are walking two abreast they should go in single file. If they don't do this it's time for a game of chicken.

    Don't listen to anyone here. Hold your ground until they go back!

    Women should always be on the inside of the footpath, to avoid being doused from above by ordure.

    Remember ...WWKMD.

    It depends, if they make some effort at moving aside a bit, you should do the same. If they're elderly, pregnant, physically disabled etc, hot(makes it easier for checking them out) you should move aside.

    If they're one of the people who seem to take up far too much when walking or are a group and walking together and make no effort to get out of your way, then ram the w@nkers.
