From: Doug on 18 May 2010 01:02 I am glad that the motorists on these newsgroups have finally accepted that cars are much more destructive and dangerous than bicycles. Maybe motorists are looking to go into the demolition business judging by how many buildings they are trying to demolish these days. The latest example is here... "Denby Pottery restaurant crash driver released No-one was in the restaurant at the time An 18-year-old, who was arrested after the car he was driving crashed into the restaurant at Denby Pottery, has been released on bail..."

Indeed. Some years ago I pointed out that a bike could not cause the amount of damage is shown in the photograph. Since then I have been mildly amused by the howls of protest from the unacceptable face of motoring. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukpga_20000023_en_8#pt3-pb3-l1g54
