I do agree with your first line though, which is what appears to have happened in the second incident. -- Paul - xxx |

I posted this before Paul's post had arrived, but the bloody postman must have stopped to look at the flowers, avoid a dog or something. The Post Office should never have taken their bikes away. |

Our posties still ride bikes, but their gaffers now force them to wear plastic hats. Until they are out of sight of the depot that is. ;-) -- Simon Mason |

Or perhaps the cyclist was a base jumper with a Brompton. Or perhaps the lorry driver was distracted by the sight of hordes of rats. They outnumber humans by a great amount, as you know. |
