Lost in translation
Reading a report on the LCC list about another cyclist killed in the
City (hit from behind by a motorbike while stationary at the side of the road) I realised that we need a dictionary to translate what they say into what they mean (a bit like a dictionary of cockney) For starters from that report we have: "the lack of a helmet could have been the 'cause' of death" = He was killed by a motorbike* Other entried invited -- Tony "Don't argue the matter, the difficulties will argue for themselves" -W.S. Churchill * "I found out during an informal chat with City Police about the latest cyclist fatality which happened about 6.30pm on 18 May at St Martin Le Grand (between St Paul's and Museum of London roundabout) just before the turn to Newgate. A cyclist had stopped apparently (maybe due to hearing a police siren?) and a motorcyclist went into the back of them propelling them forward. The cyclist died in a couple of hours, one police officer saying that the lack of a helmet could have been the 'cause' of death. " |
