4) I've nothing against twins either ... my sister has a pair
I was walking to work and came across a mother with a twin (two across) pram, struggling to get through a shop door. I did consider cheering her on ... for about 3 milliseconds, and then helped her with the aforementioned door [please excuse the posh talk ... I've just come off a G&S stage show!]
... and then, as I walked away, I found myself chuntering to myself how, as she had (assumedly) chosen a double, side-by-side pram, rather than a double one-behind-the-other, then she quite frankly deserves all the ar*e-ache that she gets from the aforementioned configurated preambulator.
I do get somewhat wound up to distraction (or the nines) by the bull-dozer effect of these side-by-side pedestrian mowers. All these are lacking, are a set of wheel mounted scythes. In fact, had Bodicea been a mother of twins, I feel assuredly convinced that she would have owned one.
Viva the one-in-front-of-the-other, and consign the side-by-sides to the anals of history [or room 1-0-1, whichever is the most timely], or at least ensure that owners of such pedestrian sadistic modes of transportation attend an appropriate driving/perambulating course.
What say you?
