I witnessed an incident that gladdened my heart today. A lollipop man
led a group of children out at a crossing on a very busy road, the cars
stopped, a bicycle stopped, and everyone was OK. Then along sped a
Thatcher's child, (black shades, black shirt, black shorts), and
somehow he managed to pass between the halted cyclist and car and go
through between the now returning lollipop person and the pavement.
However, and this shows how close the cyclist was, the lollipop man
reached out quickly, grabbed the cyclist and pulled him half off his
bike, rather effectively stopping him. The unpleasant cycling-Nazi
squealed "Let go of me!", but the surprisingly agile, older bloke told
him "If you ever do that again, I'll take this bloody pole and wrap it
round your bloody neck!"
I also saw a stretch limo block a crossroads for minutes. Painstakingly
slow turn. I wish that I had cycled up to the driver and asked if they
did a bendy-version, but he had suffered enough.
I watched a woman pedestrian with a mobile phone against her ear, cross
through busy but partly-jammed traffic, and jump in surprise at the
angry horn of a motorist. She seemed to move as if a personal god was
protecting her. Actually, the motorist probably wanted to see how her
buttocks would behave if suddenly startled, and for that I thank him.
Looked even better.
'I'm absolutely top-hole, sir, with a ying and yang and yippiedeedoo.'
