ON the evening of the day that I read the "Summer Madness" story and the picture of lads jumping off the Vicky Bridge, I took a walk along the towpath.
After negotiating two families who were taking their groceries home from Tesco's in one of that company's seemingly complimentary shopping trollies, I came to the Vicky Bridge and truly had to push my way through the international band of bridge jumpers who were congregating there.
The only things that were missing from my walk were the sound of Stuart Hall's "It's A Knockout" hysterical laughter at the jolly japes going off and the sight of one of those comedy coppers who wobbles about trying to keep order. Summer Madness indeed.
Needless to say the shopping trollies are now lying under Hunderton Bridge and heaven forbid that one of those responsible for dumping them land on one should they choose to jump from that bridge.
No doubt Claims Direct or suchlike will be able to help them sue the public purse.
