He says he also spotted a used needle near the items, which may have been left there too. He says he was stunned when he relaised what the items were, saying it is the firs time he has ever spotted anything like that while out items on his journeys, although he has seen other items, including dumped toilets. He told Burton Live: "They are in a lay-by between No Man's Heath and Clifton Campville. "There was some kind of syringe there too. Shocking.

This time do the job correctly. You could not even kill yourself, typical stupid cyclist. I thought you were going to be nice to Simon; maybe not. You have always been a boring ****. |
