But an exceptionally good one though!

I know about the Severn Bore but, not heard of the Wild Bore...

Sure I've done this before, but there should be a special circle in Hell for people who leave their dogs out barking.

And another for the gaggle of cyclists I struggled to get past this morning, occupying the full width of the road for mile after mile, and their being higher up than driver's eyeline made it very difficult to gauge safety of overtaking - hence the long time being held up. I'm not an anti-cyclist driver, but I certainly notice the ones who haven't read the highway code...

Driving has become more hazardous with cyclist on the road. I recall when we use to have shared services with another London Borough (Hackney), I would drive into office, but stopped doing so and decided to take the train, after realizing, there's a real chance I might kill someone.

Allow me to elucidate, heading up to Mare St. there were swarms of cyclist in front of me and the same volume, behind me, on both sides of the car. It was like a colony of ants homing in on some poor caterpillar.
I witness these eco-warriors doing some crazy stuff on the road, like grabbing on to the side of a vehicle while it was moving, I seen some altercation where they will pelt their bottled water at you.

This was a war zone, they seem to have this collective hatred for motorist, I pay my road tax, not sure they do and I feel pretty aggrieved, it did cross my mind to keep a baseball bat near me, just in case. I made a few more trips to Hackney but for the sake of my mental wellbeing, I decided it was better to take the train.

I am, increasingly.

Our LA has spent a fortune building a cycle route right along our coast, and not just a painted line on the road either. A proper, safe, segregated cycle path, yet you still see groups, particularly the lycra clad twats insisting on riding on the bloody road, much of which is now one way to vehicular traffic to accommodate the cycle path....
