Shocking, shocking, shocking! As poms and ex-pats have to spend their time worrying about terror attacks repeats of past atrocities, it seems a local trend of attack is on the rise over there – bicycle helmets indoors.

When will the madness end?

This, from a troubled Dale S:

Hey Seth,

I am in England this year, Hampstead in London to be precise.
Last night I was at a pub called “The George” in Hampstead. A few mates and I had convened to watch the footie when to all of our amazement, a man with a cycling helmet popped up. This is 10pm in London, which i assure you is dark as fuck.

This bafoon rolled into the pub, ordered a beer, took a seat for a while and then waltzed into the bathroom. I was “lucky” enough to be in the bathroom at the time…

Excuse the quality, iphones are for fun , blackberrys are for photos.

It’s hard to fathom, I know.

Regards
Dale

I am so sorry for you, Dale. To not be able to enjoy a quiet pint in an English pub, without being attacked, is nothing short of a travesty.

Our thoughts are with you, from Cape Town.
