Tufty the lizard

Riding into work this morning, I spotted a large tuft of hair that
looked as though it had been pulled from the end of a squirrel's tail.

Evidently that particular squirrel slightly mistimed a dash under
someone's wheel.

About time thar little B****r got his chips.

I saw a squirrel with considerably poorer timing the other day at the
top of Greenwich park. Theer was an Accident Investigation Unit
vehicle witha couple of rozzas unpacking at the side of the road but I
suppose that may have been a coincidence

It won't be long before somebody (me?) hits one of those geese in Hyde Park.
They have no understanding of the solid white dividing line between the
cycle path and the pedestrian path.
Mind you, nor do a lot of the humans.

The white line is something that only cyclists are quired to observe.
It has no meaning to pedestrians (exactly like the white line on a
mandatory cycle lane, but applying to different classes of user).

So drivers can cross a solid white line into a mandatory cycle lane?

I just checked the highway code to answer my own question.
Whilst it says "MUST" that cyclists keep to their side of the line, it does
say in the pedestrians section " Cycle tracks may run alongside footpaths,
with a dividing line segregating the two. Keep to the section for
pedestrians. "

I couldn't find anything about geese.

Do you have to work at that, or does it come naturally?

Idiot.
