I find they know I am coming most of the time, what with my large brass bell and the cry of 'bring out your dead' usually does it, funny enough not many say hello though?

Tut tut old chap I think it is taking things a bit far to acknowledge those of a lower social standing than yourself don't you think. Of course I do expect common labourers and peasants to doff their caps helmets in deference whenever I am out and about but jolly bad form to initiate any type of acknowledgement I should say.

I like the "vroom vroom" idea; if nothing else, it will make them keep clear of you, for fear of what crazy thing you might do next!

I always carry with me two half coconut shells in order to make a clip clop sound. In that way the horse doesn't perceive you as a threat. Its a bit hard to do whilst maintaining control of the bicycle but with practice it can be done. Honest.

There you go, you were a good boy at the junction letting me go first. So you deserve a sweetie.

Spangles rocked... proper sugar rush.
I swear I used to buzz of these in my younger days.
The rules of spangle
1) Never put them in your pocket otherwise they turn into glue and getting the wrapper off became a nightmare.
2) Never leave them in your pocket when your clothes are washed as you will never open that pocket again in your life.
3) Never Swallow, as the damn things would get stuck in your neck.

OK the colour says it all. would have been on the 'banned' list because my brother who was 3 years younger was hyperactive and anything orange was off... though it does not explain why he loves Ironbru even still!
