Thanet Theroid has encountered, on several separate occasions, teenage riders of quad bikes/mopeds/hairdryers on the Thanetian footpaths, pedestrian links/alleyways or local parks.
Is Thanet Theroid picking on Thanetian Teenagers? No, it has, unfortunately, been forced to jump out of the way of teens, nay perambulators on motorised wheels.
Thanet Theroid decided upon a wintery, promenade cliff-top walk. The paving above the unfenced cliffs being almost completely smooth and devoid of bollards evidently proved a shameless call to under-age riders. Elderly were forced to the side, jeered at and jostled with wanton abandon. One elderly chap was reduced to shaking an ineffective and unseen fist as a rider revved and zoomed up a pedestrian alleyway between houses.
When the snow fell over the Isle of Thanet those days ago, Thanet Theroid witnessed a quad-biker (fresh out of nappies) terrorising a local park. Should Thanet Theroid have called the local police station? Surely they must have heard the overactive hairdryer from the custody suite?
What should be done to stop these predominantly dangerous misdemeanours? Does anyone care? Will it take a mowed down mutt to attract retribution? Who’s up for the Washing Line approach? Personal Peril resulting in the garrotting of said perpetrators? Everyone loves “The Great Escape” why not put it into practice in peace time?
Perhaps Thanet Theroid and all Thanetians will achieve greater peace at this festive time. *Cough*, or piece.
