Can Pounder or one of the other irrational bigots explain just
what the cyclist was supposed to do?
Dismount, sprint past the pedestrians and remount?
And why does there always have to be threats of violence?

Threat of violence is against the rules.

Yes, but, toy boat owners pay Canal Tax so rules don't apply to
them.

Oh I see ...

I am sure Mr Angry will tell you he pays fuel duty and why not, those
toy boats get about 5MPG, Concorde got 17, making toy boats the worst
polluters on the planet.

Wow!
A Boeing 787 gets about 124.

miles per gallon?

per passenger


124 miles per gallon per passenger?

That's more like it, I suppose. You wouldn't get that per passenger on
a moped if there were a land route.


canal boat red diesel is far cheaper than road fuel and also supplies
heating and lighting, plus a canal boat can carry loads of passengers
without breaking a sweat.


I have nothing against canal boats. Long may their users live and prosper.
