Yesterday morning I came across a woman walking down the middle of the road, not a main road, the strange thing being was she was walking backwards and not paying very much attention to where she was going. Reminded me of Spike Milligans "Walking Backwards For Christmas".
I saw her again this morning, still walking backwards but on the pavement this time and paying a little more attention to what was in front/behind her, maybe it is a new exercise craze.

Then later yesterday, I saw a guy in a cabriolet with the roof down transporting a tall cupboard/wardrobe in the passenger seat, with the seat belt "holding it" down. He just happened to perfectly time his drive with the roof down with a very heavy rain shower, it was hissing it down.

I was watching the documentary on Spike on sunday and they played that very song. :becool:
 
This is the oldest trick in the book.

You used to be able to do it to some cars, by putting them on axle stands and running the motor in reverse.

She's making herself appear younger by walking backwards and 'clocking' her odometer.

I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. It's terribly devious but perfectly legal.

As seen in Ferris Beullers day off?

Walking/running backwards is a very good exercise, uses a different set of muscles...so I've been told :ph34r:

how many of us think she might have been drinking !
At 7 in the morning, she does walk in a straight line which I imagine is hard after a few drinks.

[QUOTE 1806118, member: 45"]How do you know that she was walking forwards and it was in fact you who was going backwards?

Didn't think about that, eh, did you? DID YOU??[/quote]
I tried pedalling backwards and I found you just fall over.
