I really am not sure where to post this, but I just have to let it out somewhere...
I was locking up my bike in Brixton this morning on those stands outside KFC, there was a fake police (community support police), he was hanging out there or something, so there I went to lock my bike, as I was finishing and just about to take my saddle off, he came to me and gave me a lesson of how to lock my bike, he said: "You see that wheel there with that cable (there was a wheel only locked up to the next stand), if you don't wrap you lock around here, there... (I had no idea what the he was on about, but I think he told me I should put my lock through the top tube), then you bike might end up like that.." I have a kryptonite 3000 plus a cable so both my frame and both wheels are locked, and I take my saddle with me, and there he was comparing my locking method with someone who used a pound shop cable to only lock the wheel... surely he must have better things to do, surely...
About an hour later, when I went to get my bike, he was still hanging about there, surely he must have better things to do than that?
