Cheers, helen s

Thank's for that Helen.

I recall reading that when they made this film Paul Weller's dad went
all over the place, claiming that the director had made his son 'look
gay'. Shows how times have changed. When I was a lad it was a common
insult to say that cyclists were 'puffs', but now that being gay is
much more socially acceptable people have find other insults to
denigrate cyclists!

Still my favourite current cycling animation...

all over the place, claiming that the director had made his son 'look

was the clincher). Perhaps the director was trying to imply something
about the supposed sexuality of cyclists. When I was a lad it was a
common insult to say that cyclists were 'puffs', but now that being gay
is much more socially acceptable people have find other insults to

(Yes an awful term but back in those dark days people also regarded
shows such as 'On the buses' and Love thy neighbour' as being
'comedy'😉. Now that being gay is, quite rightly, not stigmatised in the
way it was, people have had find other insults to denigrate cyclists!

Shirley you mean Belleville Rendezvous. Nothing beats Grandma with her
trike and whistle.
