I thought it was on our list of places to go anyway, but if they are going to fine drunk cyclists it has just moved up a few spots.

  You've got to go to the bar underneath Rampage's place - the lady there is fighting for pedestrian rights with a chair!

It can only be improved by nicking the sober ones who run down pedestrians and endanger other road users too

I think this law actullay applies in this country aleady, if you are drunk and have a driving licence then you can lose your liecence even if you are on bike, or so I have been told!

  Dunno, you could be right.

Like Rabbit says, I think this already applies over here if you are drunk in charge of any form of transport be it a car, bike, horse or mobility buggy. (I seem to recall there has been at least one case of the last one recently!)

  Does it apply to horses?
  
  Just wondering.
  
  Ahem.

    Well, you know what they're like when they've had a skinful.

      Erm, horses?
      
      Well there is the colic drench I s'pose, that has rum or brandy or sommat in it.

        Exactly my point. They can't handle their drinks. Give 'em a few rum and cokes and they just can't ride their bicycles safely.

        Well take the bicycles away then, that is clearly the answer.

And, you can get a delicious kebab at 3am after a night of drinking in a goth bar whilst in Berlin.

    Mrs F, you would have loved Berlin! If you ever go, I am positive Rampie would offer to be your guide.
