As jinglbellsfrocks had the last word in the last thread about Jermy Corbyn, I am starting a new one.

Do you think that the election of Jeremy Corbyn has scuppered Labour's chances of winning the next election or has it revitalised the party?

A long way back, but jingl, him-with-his-bike-in-Downing-Street lied, not just the policeman. The one that him-on-his-bike spoke to did not lie.

Nothing to do with him-om-his-bike, but never mind.

I don't think he won the Tour de France though.
Not on that old bike anyway.

No, that basket on the front would have hampered his speed somewhat! grin

Getting back to the OP - it wasn't Jeremy Corbyn was it?
Hasn't he got a bike?
Is it a racing bike?

No. Jeremy Corbyn has always been unfailingly polite to policemen.
