Idiots Encountered: (1) – Guy came through a red light into my path - i said "Interesting Red Light" - in a sarcastic tone perhaps. He shouted at me to "f... O..", to which i replied with a finger - mmmmm he was not happy lol - even more irritating was the fact he was on a Brompton - the bare cheek.

Photos: As i wasn't going to leave my trusty steed out in Clapham on its own, I bundled it into the boot of the car and did a quick change the toilet at Gastro. Raph had bought a mud guard from Evans - a mud guard indeed - what is the world coming too - i have seen a basket and a bell that might work well with it.
