If they are. Then they do a rubbish job and don't cover much more than 1/3 of its run. Missing the bottom completely!!

Lycra louts

stuck in stationary traffic near the entrance to chorley hospital, heard a siren, look in mirror and an ambulance on blues is trying to fight its way through. I pull over to the side to help make a gap. 30 seconds later as ambulance passes banging on my roof, and mirror folded in by a lycra lout as he couldn't pass me on the inside.

Slept in until half 8 this morning, my body & mind needed it, so this isn't a gripe, after a stressful week.

Amazing the power of hot chocolate, I don't remember waking once during the night
