Evening Standard: Regent’s Canal Robbers

never had a prob on the canal, bar once when a group of about 4 youthoof approached with a menacing reputation, imposed on me from a couple of riders going the other way, they were having a bit of a luagh (innit), lifting ppls bicycles up - threatening to shove them into the canal, harmless in the end;

oh, there was another time when there was almost a fight/fistiecuffs/at least physical-pushing between a 'lycra-lout' and someone else, oh actually maybe this wasn't involving a lycra lout, yeh- it diodn't (thinking of some Eve. Std. sacre-story).. it was between somone amped on anger looks a little ruffian;

another time, some toss-pot thought i should get out of his way using the eyes in the back of my head;

seen someone swiomming in the canal - colleague told me the chap was probably trying to find something that hd fallenm in!

yeh - pretty harmless the canal in summary,

although tonight i did see an intimidating looking (and sounding, "you got a light") gang of about 5/6 near where the other canal meets the River LEa on way to the Wick(ed)!

lost one of my lights on this trip, one of those Knog things - tied it too loosley to the seat pole.

night,
Zzzz

This is almost like English.

I blame his teacher...
