Yes, they thanked me for pointing out the errors of their ways and agreed never to do it again. Or maybe not. There was also two scenes when I asked drivers to turn their engines off when sitting idling by Peckham Rye. I wont recount the tale but they did not appreciate my request. I've long since given up. My experience was similar to Nigel Havers, "go forth and multiply".
