I ride everywhere with the kids, not having a car.
most places round my way are small roads or have cars piled up on one side, so I ride on the pavement most of the time otherwise there builds up a big old que behind me, even at speed. Way I see it, i'm doing the cars a favour, and I'm less likely to have my pretty face smashed into a windscreen. So there.

Yep. And no doubt you welcome strangers taking shortcuts through your back garden too.
Or is that different somehow, because it's private?

This is OK
As long as you keep to a safe speed and realize that you're not supposed to be on the pavement.

In London the cyclists on the pavement invariably hurtle at you, expecting you to get out of their way (or collide with them). These are the ones I quite happily knock off/down.
