But Les Battersby is the 'idiot' on the street...getting a commendation
from him is like 'bad press'. (similar to the use of motorcycling on TV in
the 70's & 80's being used to represent the thieves/bad boys of society
(everytime you saw one he was robbing old ladies.. not helping them
across the road). On that point did anyone catch the documentary on
B2 last night on the Hell's Angels - 'a social group interested in the
mechanics of the Harley Davison'!)
