that's britain

[alecstilleyedye]

for those who didn't see it, is basically a that's life sort of show with a modern twist.

there's a word cloud ("the wall") which reflects what people have been emailing in about, and, among the dog poo and junk mail, is cyclists (just small, mind).

i propose we all email talktothewall@bbc.co.uk with "cyclist haters" as the subject line. we might make the wall and annoy the people who emailed in moaning about cyclists

will be posted elsewhere too…

I chuckled when the guy said he was "a bicyclist" !

missed that bit, but did you notice the bike left out for the rubbish with a snapped top tube?

Was there anything else on the programme?

I was actually waiting for 'cyclists' to appear on that wall thing, so wasn't surprised when it did.
I'd be equally surprised if there isn't an item on us in a future with all the usual lines trotted out.

All depressingly predictable. Would be nice to have a positve item on utility/commuting cycling for once.

I thought that it was almost funny in a Victor Meldrew kind of way!!! (and of course I'd never complain about such trivial things )

I fely my IQ leaking out of my ears as I watched it.

This tweet I saw on Twitter said it all: "Is #frozenplanet supposed to make up for #thatsbritain? Like someone cooking you a beautiful meal after kneecapping you & stealing your car"
