"or I would have smashed it."
And you have noticed the pain of falling off your bike

Just told this on the 'fell off my bike" thread a story told of my home town of Kirkby - a rough estate near Liverpool
A young couple were cycling along a Kirkby street on a tandem when dog ran out and threw a bucket of water over them

Another similar
A man was driving through Kirkby when his car brole down - he got out and lifted the bonnet to see if he could find what was wrong
A minute later two men ran out of a nearby block of flats carrying a jack, and began to jack up the car
"What are you doing" shouted th driver
"Feck off", came the reply, "If you're having the engine we'll have the wheels"

Precious memories
