    Only to serve their man?

    While on the subject of 1950s "jokes", why does the bride wear white? It's the colour all household appliances come in....
    There are 9 million bicycles in Beijing, or some I'm told...

    Not doing 'em much good though, is it?

      When I was at school, the Chinese used to cycle and we used to drive cars. Well the teacher asked and 50% had a car(1973).

      Soon we will all be on bicycles. And Chinese will all be driving.

      Some benefits of cycling: -
      1. It annoys WTFH - especially if you position your lights in an annoying way and drop gel wrappers.
      2. It annoys LM.
      3. eeer - Im struggling now. Surely there must be some others?

                  Most of the time I ignore cyclists, and they bounce off quite cleanly, but occasionally one gets stuck under the wheel arch and you have to give them a kicking or else you just end up dragging muck up the street.

                    That's if you can get your effin' car started in the first place, eh? Just saying, like.
