Brunel Ford -proud to sponsor the Concorde Way

Posted by Kimberly on Tuesday, March 29, 2011

One thing missing from the official opening of the Concorde Way a couple of weeks back was the sponsor. London has Barclays "wealth for the wealthy" sponsoring the bikelanes "a tax-deductible gift for the poor in our society". Nobody was forthcoming in North Bristol, as our main local benefactor prefers to support development in and near Ashton Gate, rather than up here, Bristol Rovers territory.

Hence: no sponsor

This has changed, as J0TCT shows.


The best view is from Dovercourt way, where anyone who avoided a dooring incident gets a lovely view of a better option for the city.

Our tax-dodging troublemaker is here recorded harassing an innocent driver.


Let's review the video and score the discussion
  1. The tax-dodger takes the photograph and says this will be the reference "before" photograph: kick-off!
  2. The driver rightfully points out, no yellow lines -hence legal. 1-nil!
  3. The tax dodger responds: blocking dropped kerbs are illegal as is obstructing a cycle route, and that they could call the police. 1-all!
  4. The driver counters with "you are cycling on the pavement". 2-1 to Brunel Ford!
  5. The troublemaker tries to respond with "that's because there is a large vehicle blocking my normal access point". Offside!
We hope the troublemaker will see the error of their ways and buy a nice new Ford Focus, especially now that our Chancellor has reduced the cost of filling up the car by 50 pence.

Incidentally, can we say that we agree with all the comments added to the youtube page -our site does not in any way condone walking, cycling or public transport.
