This time of year the cold air makes my nose stream when I cycle and I’ll often clear it with a snot rocket …or 2 ( one for each nostril). I usually do it when stopped and bend over so its safely discharged to the road but now it seems London boroughs are about to set on the spot fines of possibly £80 for spitting in public….. Time to get winter gloves with a wipe patch? Maybe over due?

£80 fine for spitting?
Really?

It’s not spitting.

Its not spitting, but I’m not looking forward to attempting that explanation to a zealous local warden dishing out a fine.

Just ride off from da babylonians like elfin used to!

Considering you can catch TB from spitting, an £80 fine is light.

I always take off the number plate on the bike before snot-rocketing, just in case.

80 quid fine or make them lick it back up

Yes, because TB is such a big problem nowadays…..

Just saying 🙄

Learn to do it while moving

Might be worth doing a bit of research there….

I always do it to my right. Never on the sidewalk.

But they only have sidewalks in the US so that would be the wrong side 😉

I never do it on the sidewalk either. That’s because I don’t ride in America.

I seem to remember lots of spitting during ramadan in the east end, could be a good money spinner.

How does one catch TB from spitting? Do people lick it off the floor?

You can also get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat

What about sneezing?

Carry some tissues ?? Can’t imagine you are shredding the knarr on the road fast enough not to stop at lights n’such, try kitchen towel it’s a bit stronger and can be opened with gloves. I recommend a couple of sheets not the whole roll unless you think you may need it.

Do you ever ride a bike? This reminds me of my dentist who honestly recommended squeezing a line of toothpaste onto my handlebars and using after ingesting a sugary drink.

Good.

Clearing your nose this way (and spitting) is disgusting in public.

Innit. Seems to making a resurgence of late, usually the local Chinese and other immigrant populations.

You are Nigel Farrage and I claim my £5 😆

That better be five English pounds, and none of that euro nonsense.

Clearly I don’t ride, what a stupid assumption to think I actually did. All I do in my spare time is tap away on here… 😆

You are Piers Morgan and you owe me £5
