A Friendly Wave

In answer to Mr.Orange Tree's concern over the lack of friendly waving between motorhomers, I must say that I haven't noticed less response to my wave only a different response. Instead of a reciprocal wave with an open handed, side-side movement, there now appears to be a new 'fashion' of a two or one fingered sign. Well....call me naive if you like, and I have led a sheltered life, I can't think for the life of me just what this new signage fashion means. As I always like to be friendly to my fellow motorhomers - in a kindred spirit way, after all you never know when you'll need to borrow a hose or a tin opener, perhaps I should be adopting this new fashion just to see how it's received. Has this happened to others and what do they think?

Being waved at was the worst aspect of owning a motorhome one twerp even leaned out to wave at me from the other side of a dual carriage way!

Time was, and not so long ago, when in the north one did not wave at the occupants of an oncoming vehicle, one stopped in the passing place and wound down the window to pass the time of day. Sometimes even getting out to shake hands when some connection was noticed, such as a distant cousin having had the same breed of dog. It led to many invitations to all sorts of activities, including once turning around to go to a wedding in support of the groom whose contingent of closer kinsmen were marooned on a island by the weather.

I regret that this "NC500" road race malarky has put paid to this tradition.

I wondered why you didnt wave back.  I hope the fine from the Police speed trap wasnt too much.😈
