Makes a nice change to see the headline "man fined for cycling", rather
than "cyclist".

Seems like he got it for being lippy, not for riding the bike.

No, it was for breaking the law in proceeding the wrong way in a one way
street. Being lippy isn't an offence.

Mind you, if he gave the CSO the same sort of mouthful that a cyclist*
would give any ordinary member of the public, he was lucky not to be up
on am "insulting words or behaviour" as well.


[* If you don't like "cyclist", I suggest you stop using "motorist". The
correct term is "driver" - or "rider" where the vehicle is a motorbike.]

Good god. I didn't say it was the offence. Being lippy was why teacher
sent him to headmaster for running in the corridor.

would give any ordinary member of the public, he was lucky not to be up
on am "insulting words or behaviour" as well.

So what sort of mouthful does an ordinary member of the public get from
a "cyclist"? On planet Earth, not yours.

I rarely use the term "motorist". Look up the history. Oh, you don't
keep any. A bicycle or horse is also controlled by a rider.

He coiud only get the fine for being lippy if being lippy were an offence.

Re-read your history of responses from your archive (see below). It'll
all be there.

"Motorist" is such an oddly old-fashioned term, harking back to a time
when cars were the preserve of the aristocracy and men with handlebar
moustaches and cravats.

No-one normal ever uses the word outside the world of the press cub
reporter and sub-editor.

A few times a year the press tells us about some nasty "cyclist",
therefore it must be universal.

So you don't have an answer.

There've been plenty of revelations from posters here. Artices in the
pres reinforce what they say, but are not the whole of it.

So you don't have an answer.


....to?

It's mostly mutial masturbation.

My offer to go walking with you still stands. You can't be afraid to
prove it, surely?
