I Wouldn't Start From Here

Yesterday was another tube strike, the third in recent months. Of course it doesn't bother me at all, except that my Mrs, MCMLXX, wanted to cycle too and asked me to ride with her to Westminster. That's a bit out of my way and leaves me tackling Hyde Park Corner to get to my own work. Which is niiice.

Anyway, the good news is that she liked it so much that she cycled in again this morning. What's more, we parted at Waterloo and she did the last leg by herself. We'll meet again at nursery at Waterloo this evening. Another convert? Let's hope so.

The next challenge, mind, will be to get her cycling with MMVII on board. That's a story for another day.

In the meantime I want to share with you this terrific road sign which you come across if you drive or cycle north to Oxford Street from Grosvenor Square:


Looks normal? Well, now look closer:


That's right, bitches. No left turn. No right turn. And the road ahead is a dead end. You should not be here. Mwuhahaha!
