I've seen couriers riding with whistles in their mouths, blowing with gay abandon at all who dare step into their path. The whistle is an aggressive beast, reminiscent of Soccer Refs and Jailers.
Following my time working on Autumnwatch I was presented with a birdcall. Well, actually Bill 'Charity Begins At Home' Oddie boosted it from the raffle when he spotted that it was gonna get snapped up by Sian Lloyd, the wide mouthed frog. Honestly, what was she gonna do with it? Honking like a randy goose.
Since being presented with Oddie's hot goods I've been using it in place of a bell / whistle, as the pleasant honking of geese is perfectly adequate for alerting other roadusers and has the added bonus of being great fun in the park.
