Don't worry about this. Local dibble were outside my wee bairns school today giving people £60 lessons in how to park. Excellent, thought I.
However, one bloater who lives nearer the school than me (and I'nm only 0.24 miles from the gate) and insists on dtiving the journey twice a day and who's waistline appears the worse for wear due to this, remarked "should be out catching real criminals", and before I could stop myself I chirped up, "why, someone burgled your house and took all the pies?" If looks could kill...
There's plenty of gob going in all directions, and in the grand scheme of things not much of it really comes our way as cyclists.
