Last time was, oh 3 hours ago for me.

Chap on a pushbike, really wide panniers, sat in the middle of the lane in an NSL, pootling along at about 7mph. Solid white lines down the middle, so none of the long line of cars ahead of me overtook him. Luckily, unlike said cagers, I know the bit in the highway code, "You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less."

So I used the opportunity to p*** past the whole line of traffic.
