I find it amazing that more people aren't killed on the roads every day. I travel by bus up and down Oxford Street, and the number of people who either just walk out without looking (often on their mobile) and those who sprint across the road in front of a bus (when they get to the other side, they just loiter looking in shop windows, so not that much of a hurry) is staggering. The standard of driving is getting worse, too.

Funny stories? - catch me sometime, and I will spill all. Not mine, but a friend who is a vet was called out by an elderly lady to look at her cat. Peter inspects, announces cat is in perfect health, but is also in kitten. Lady protests that this is impossible, cat has never been out of the house. Just then, in strolls large black cat, Peter inspects it - Yup, it's a tomcat. "What about him?" he asks. Lady says indignantly - "Don't be silly, he's her brother".
