Confused here! I came across this pdf today, part of TfL's resources for teachers. I get the idea, you read each statement in turn until the class guesses who you are. So - 1 is choob, 2 is bus, 4 is the DLR, 5 is the ferry, 6 is the CTL. Heh, I think. Am I wrong? Anyway. What is no. 3?  I am stumped by the line "A properly fitted helmet should always be worn when using me." Que? I can't believe I can't get this one!  |

Duh, bike, of cooooourse <slaps forehead roundly> Fank yoooo!
I once told a pleecyman off (nicely, of course) in St James' Park for riding a hoss, coz it was pooping on the pavements. I think it's mega yuk and really doesn't give a good impression for our tourists! ;D

Number 4 isn't exactly true "You get a good view from me because I always travel up high". What about the tunnels?

Angel - out here in the wild west (okay, mid-west = Cincinnati) our mounted policepersons' horses used to have "dropping bags" aka "horsey diapers" aka "nicker knickers"on them. Then the horses complained about carrying around all that stink so they did away with them. Now, we too, are back to "horse d'ouevres" on the streets. But, hay, you gotta realize that this whole "fouling the footpath" mania is only in the last 40 years or so compared to our over-6000 year association with horses. And a whole line of employment disappeared - street sweepers. And as my mind wanders from topic to topic, suppose instead of a bicycle being taken on the trains, someone decided to bring on their horse?  |

Making its way to Horseferry Road or perhaps Horse Guards Parade. |

Blackhorse Road would be another suitable destination!
