Aborted takeoff AITAH

So in the uk but not massively relevant

Airfield is what we call A/G uncontrolled but you do inconsistently have someone manning the radio giving basic spot winds and QNH/FE and any known traffic that could effect but can’t tell you to do anything so uncontrolled

Anyway was lining up after calling departing, about 10 seconds later some guy called downwind for glide approach right when I hit the beans . 5 seconds later realised that despite the world outside moving the ASI claimed I was doing 0 knots so aborted , called the abort and coasted to the end of the runway as the strip only had one exit midway down which is grass and closed due to rainfall with traffic cones

The guy doing the glide went around at the last minute and started yelling down the radio that I ruined his approach

Pretty sure it was my runway and he has ages to go around
