  1. Anne Robinson in the Daily Telegraph today.

    "The important historical fact they are probably going home with is that Diana, Princess of Wales
    occasionally ate at the restaurant opposite. More life-saving and instructive would be for them to
    know that, in Red Ken's London, cyclists are the new royalty. And as such they regard traffic
    signs, especially No Entry ones, as decoration only. So should Wilbur and Jenny from
    Moosedroppings, Nebraska, step off the pavement, they risk being mowed down by one of Ken's friends
    coming the wrong way.

    Ken's friends, incidentally, have about four brisk standard morning greetings: "F---", "F--- you",
    "A-------" or "A-------" (twice)."

    What do you expect, apparently she's a mate of the woolly-haired w*nker Clarkson. She's even been on
    his Top [censored] programme.

    I suggest anyone who steps off a pavement into the road is probably well on the way for a Darwin ..
    no matter what hits them .. And if it *is* Wilbur and Jenny from Moosedroppings, Nebraska how the
    hell do they know which way to look ? No-one ever walks anywhere in Nebraska .. 😉

    I heard on the radio last night that the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where AR lives has
    the highest density of population in the EU, so you can imagine that on hot summer days, with
    1000's of tourists, large Beemers and Mercs looking for parking spaces, congestion charges, traffic
    wardens and "lycra louts" there will be a certain amount of loss of raggage going on.

    Remember the old days, when people always said "look both ways before crossing the road" ? Nice to
    see now days that doesn't apply on one-way roads. Obviously the cyclists fault as cars never reverse
    on one-way streets. This woman cracks me up. I don't think anyones paying attention to her are they?

    Can't see why cyclists should not obey the rules of the road like any other traffic.

    They do. Actually, they obey it rather better than most. Compare (for example) the annual road
    traffic speed statistics with any incidence of cyclists breaking any traffic rule you care to.

    "Hey, you just stepped off the pavement without looking both ways!"

    "Of course I did. Didn't you notice this is a one way street? So the only way I'm going to get hit
    is if some moron is breaking a road traffic regulation. Now, how likely is that?"

    one evening last week WVM abused me -- providing me with the surplus information that 'my' lane was
    on the other side of the road and that I should *expletive deleted* get in it.

    He seemed bemused when I told him it was a contraflow cycle lane for people coming the other way and
    that I was in the correct lane.

    To help prove my point an old codger on a sit up & beg rolled on by.

    No other bugger seems obeys the rules. But I agree -- cyclists should.

    Well, what do you expect from that f---ing a-------? Seriously, as they say, though, I find
    wrong way cyclists, footpath/pavement cyclists, red-light-jumping cyclists etc a real pain in
    the saddle-sore. They give us all a bad name, and if I'm waiting at the lights, they can bloody
    well wait too!

    'sright.

    And to add insult to, errm, insult, the red light jumpers are usually the wobbly, dithering people
    you just overtook.

    So once the lights change they get in your way all over again...

    Pete. i am a hypocrite when it comes to empty pelican crossings though
