Giles Smith writing in the sports section of the Daily Telegraph on Saturday writes in the middle of an item on football (what else ? I hear you say)
Quote..............has anyone noticed how, in that current advertisement for Salt'Shake (presumably crisps of some kind ?) Lineker freewheels down a hill on a bicycle without wearing a helmet ? What sort of example is that to set the kids ? he indignantly pronounces.
Smith esq then goes on to wax lyrical about the aspirations of Tyson and Lewis to batter each others brains to the consistency of frog spawn. Which of course brings us back where we started. - Journalists brains when they try preaching to us about cycling when they don't know a spoke from Shimano.
Have you ever noticed how often footballers boots come pretty close to footballers heads ? Should they be wearing helmets also ? A good question !
