Agreed, but consider them free protein. More entertaining is the prevalence of farm machinery entering & exiting fields, plus the attempts by other vehicles to get past them.Location: ciderspace0 -

Free protein, yes. But they're too small to taste dammit.
Talking of farm machinery exiting fields. I had no option but to ride through the fallout of some web-toed imbecile who had exited a field, probably on two wheels, whilst towing a slurry trailer. A perfectly clean bike suddenly filthy as."Impressive break"

They're here in Berks too, particularly alongside the Thames.
I find keeping my mouth closed while cycling there is wise. A beard helps filter them out too

I can't believe i've only just looked at this thread, lovely stuff, as a Bristolian in London it's good to see us here making a racket.If I know you, and I like you, you can borrow my bike box for £30 a week. PM for details.0

'Tis funny: I still think of Bristol as home even though I've been in London for 12 years now. Got some time off back with the folks next week, which'll be nice.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)
