    Maybe he didn't want to add himself to the heap of transit vans that he can see on his left.

    Annoys me when cyclists ignore the cycle paths and use the main roads and have a smug smile on their face. One of these days I am going to shout at them ' use the cycle path FFS'.

    I just bought a jet washer and thought to hell with 'em.

    Saves on tyre wear from almost dodging them too.

It seems to be one law for the man in the street, another for the fat cat. PLEASE LET'S HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY!
    Get a car then ya freak!

    These used to be made of stainless steel. I guess the new ones (as a £2000 optional extra) are not built to the same standard.

    So are walls, rivers, bollards and level crossings if you're not looking where you're going.
