On a similar subject why do 2 year old children on push along wooden bikes need Full Crash Helmets. How will they experience danger and the pain when they make mistakes and learn to readjust When I was an under 10 we used to have rock fights , did holes with sharp sticks in the bottom and try to push each other in , climb 30 foot up a tree and try and make the branches break.No one died Some of these children will grow up not being able to take risks. Sorry...Mr Grumpy has gone away now and its just started raining so all is well !!
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.
Untreated Yorkshire water? isn't that called beer in those parts South of the Tees. It has strange names like Ginger sheep, Tsetse and Melbourne or is that an Australian medical brew. You would probably need it after drinking that water.
The Hospital visit by Mrs Trumpet and Mr Mayiplease was the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the inmates would be fitter than either of them
My pet hate, adult cyclists who ride on the footpath. When you don't move out of the way they give you loads of abuse!
Last summer I was walking along the pavement when I saw a "yoof " cycling towards me and I knew there was not enough room for us and I would have to move out of his way. I have never hit anyone even in rugby and i am an easy going person but something snapped.I had had enough on giving in to Swearword Morons !! I put out both my arms and asked him politely to get on to the road but he didnt. He ran into my arm and had to stop . He said "Oi you it me " to which I replied "No i didnt you ran into me " The look of surprise and annoyance on his face was priceless. Never the less I did take a backstreet route home in case he came back "wiv his mates "

I was walking on a busy footpath and I saw the reflection of a cyclist in the window of a bus shelter. He was fast approaching me from behind so when he came level with me I yelled as loud as I could in his ear " GET ON THE ROAD". He did but only because he nearly feel off his bike in shock! I just looked at him as if he wasn't quite the full shilling. Very satisfying. If I'd had a stick it would have been into his spokes!!! I yell at all vehicular and pedestrian transgressors. Someday I'm expecting a slap in the kite but so far so good.
There must be a stick in spokes technique that avoids you breaking your wrist.I will check out you tube.
I once saw a lollipop man 'accidentally' whack a cyclist twice - once from the front and then from behind with his lollipop. He used a where am I? I'm confused, spinning motion. It was almost balletic. I bet the cyclist didn't ignore the lollipop sign again. <proper evil emoji not that wet purple one>

On one of the other topics, "Sky. Believe in better" makes me twitch.
