  1. It doesn't surprise me that nobody here has commented on the article in the Mirror this morning [1].

    "20 things that make Britain grate" - Sue Somebody

    In at 18 or 19 was cyclists, since they all cycle on the pavement and don't pay a penny in road tax.

    Oh of course speed cameras were probably there too: The law being too harsh on motorists and too
    lenient on real criminals certainly got a mention.

    Immigrants probably got a mention too.

    Love and embarrassment from Rich x

    [1] It was on the table in the retaurant at work and I saw the feature listed in the front page so I
    turned to page 23 and ONLY READ PAGE 23
    - do I make myself clear - I only read it because I saw the feature listed on the front page. I did
    NOT read any other sections .. blah blah blah. Oh well actually I did read the "Doctor Dingo
    Answers Your Embarrassing Medical Problems" page - something about a bloke who could no longer
    find his [censored] because he was too obese through lack of cardiovascular exercise in his lifestyle.

    Well, to my joy today, the Grauniad expressed a refreshingly alternate opinion:-

    I read that one. That, combined with the Radio 4 prog today, challenging the speedophiles, has made
    a welcome change from the usual stuff put out about hard-done-by motorists.

    Agree with all of them apart from 18 ! How do you get number plates on a Colnago ?

    Populist gibberish from a hungover columnist with no material and a fast approaching deadline.
