Oh dear, that guy I saw in Hammersmith from my car on the Talgarth Road last year will be having a hard time again.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIt was bad but I think we will pull through.

He was walking his Jack Russell, and the dog would stop in its tracks at every puddle, no matter how small, and refuse point blank to continue. The guy would then have to lift it over the puddle, after which it would trot along happily until it reached the next puddle, and so on. It was the funniest thing you ever saw.
