OK, if that's how you feel. Me, I would probably shrug and walk away, unless the post came from a
serial ****** like Mr. Safety.
Me, I think Colin got the tone about right. He started with "Worth reading and summed up by this
quote for those who don't have the means/time:"
And the quote nicely encapsulates the tone of the article.
You may not like the article, I don't know what the reaction would be if you took issue with the
article itself, but Colin posted a lighthearted comment on a day heavy with whining cagers on the
crossposted congestion charging thread. Heh! If the weight of whining in that thread is anything to
go by, the deterrent efect of Ken's charge is pretty significant
Oh, and I don't use the word "cagers" on uk.tosspot - it inflames the poor dears. We are among
friends here, all of us ride bikes (except Mr. Safety) and most of us also drive cars. Even Volvos.
Even me. When I can't avoid it ;-)

I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're
about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud
wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.
