ATGATT in the carpark

Standing around today drinking coffee and listening to the tales of the two guys returned from their round the world excursion, in a carpark full of motorcycles and motorcyclists, I stepped back to let someone pass.

Unfortunately there was the remains of a low brick wall behind me and down I went spilling my coffee along the way.

Fortunately I was still wearing my riding gear and the armour took the fall.

It just goes to show, motorcycling is a dangerous activity - wear the gear even in the carpark

Saph it also reenforces my motto safety first. Perhaps a new line of safety gear for coffee drinking.

We have all had those kind of days glad your okay.

At three quid for a cup of Costa, I think you may have a grievance against the land-owner for failure to remove a serious economic hazard.

...unless of course you have perfected coffee drinking with a straw !
