Oh yeah, that. I assumed that it wasn't a serious suggestion, that someone said it as a way of getting their point across in an exaggerated way, comparing it to number plates on bikes, being deliberately provocative.

Eh? What have I missed? What is this enormous freedom removal of which you speak? The hatred, though, I get you on that. When you ride a bike you get accustomed to being hated, and you tend to get more cross than you should about it.

Most of the time. Those who don't respect red lights are in the minority, and annoy the rest of us because they give us a bad name. The same goes for pavement cyclists. Clearly you are not noticing the vast majority who obey the Highway Code, as they are not annoying you. Lots of motorists...

Ooh, ooh, look at me! I've got a 911!! Reminds me of that Young Ones episode, with University Challenge lampooned: "I've got a Porsche!"

Why are you asking me? I didn't catch him! But caught he was.

Who cares if he was hidden? You were breaking the law. So shut up.

Sounds like an idea for Dragons' Den, BG. Have you patented it yet?

Abolish mobile phones. Abolish speed limits. That would do it.
