Anyone coming down the hill to Goods Way or turning to go under the tunnel be very careful.
In the space of two traffic light sequences I saw two people fall very nastily on something very slippery and innocuous looking.
The first was a guy riding a blue fixed bike, who assured me he was okay as blood dripped from his chin. Probably thinks I'm a dick because I kept talking to him and stopped him getting straight back on his bike in his adrenaline-fuelled state, but hopefully it was for the best.
As he walked off, a young kid on a moped came round and hit the deck pretty hard, rider down #1 walked back and made sure he was ok, but he seemed more concerned with the trim on his scooter.
I stood on a traffic island and tried to report it to the police but my phone wouldn't connect to the 101 number. It's now been reported.
