Blokes in general are courteous to young women on the road but I was treated differently - and this attitude was evident in the way men reacted to me as a pedestrian too. Women seemed more aware there was a frail lady with a walking stick trying to get around. Men were more ignorant and pushed past without so much as an "Excuse me". It felt strange, as it's the opposite of what I'm used to. In normal life it's often women who brush past and it's the men who take time to show a bit of chivalry. When I was crossing the road I tried to look like I needed help. Eventually a nice young man did help me across. Hats off to him, he was the only one.
