On Wednesday I was going round the roundabout at the New North Road end of Hoxton Street when I heard a moped coming up behind me. I moved left to give them more room to pass.Well you can probably guess the rest but I got cuffed hard round the back of the head when I was probably doing 20 mph around the bend. The two little fuckers even slowed down to laugh knowing there was no way I was going to catch them up. I said something lame like "I'll remember your face you little blah blah...." , then took a moment to swallow my rage and off I went again. Seriously though had it been wet on the road or had they picked on someone not too handy on a bike it could have been nasty. Has anyone else fallen victim to this latest feral child craze or am I the only one? That night I had to suppress " if only I'd had a gun" fantasies but I'm all better now........
