I watched the closing stage of the Tour de France on the Champs Elysées yesterday. Cycle racing’s not the world’s most exciting sport, but this event was somewhat livened up by a couple of little old women in front of me taking offence at the fact that a chavvy Northern English couple sat on the railings, blocking everyone’s view.
After a bit of shrugging ajnd ‘ooh la la’ ing, the little old ladies lunged at them and tried to push them off the railings into the path of 100+ fast-approaching cyclists!
They didn’t succeeed, but it would have been an interesting end to an already farcical tour.
