I had a similar dilemma 2 weeks ago when I spotted an old man walking along part of the Edinburgh City Bypass, at a section of road with only a small verge of grass maybe a metre wide to walk on beside the carriageway. To be fair I did try 101 first but was on hold for a few minutes, then dialled 999 to report it. At first I wondered if I'd wasted police time, though the people I've spoken to since all reckon it was the right thing to do.
What was the reason for reporting him? I ask because as far as I know the only roads that you cannot walk on are motorways.matchmaker said:

Loose cow at night, could have been udder chaos – sounds like an emoogency situation to me. You deserve a pat on the back.
Seriously though, why are farmers allowed to let their cows live in the road
Thanks. I now have coffee on my screenSeriously though, why are farmers allowed to let their cows live in the road
