I see you chose the latter option.

Oh what a pathetic tosser you are. You don't know what my business is? Or
where its located?

There's a clue in the name I post under you idiot.

Medway is an area in Kent. Do you know where Kent is?

Handyman should be self evident even to an idiot like you.

Errrm. How about 'not at all' fuckwit.

What you call yourself is one thing, what you might do for a living is
possibly entirely different.

So you're suggesting that there were no builders or "handymen" before the
invention of the motor vehicle? What a tosser.

But what has this got to do with your irrational hatred of people who chose
to use a different type of transport?

I am paying more than my share towards road costs, bearing in mind the
amount of wear and tear a bike causes compared to a car.
