This made me laugh

.

 

The Gammons' Gazette is always good for a laugh. Today's Mail Online has a news story about the collapse of a rock formation in the Galapagos Islands. It bears the headline:
The Galapagos Islands' Darwin's Arch collapses 186 years after the pioneering naturist's visit to the islands inspired the theory of evolution.
I never knew that Darwin was a 'pioneering naturist', but it's amazing what you can learn from the Mail...

 

It conjures up visions of a bearded Victorian scholar wandering about in the scud....

I imagine the conversation in the Mail newsroom:
"Who was this Darwin, then?
" Dunno, but I Googled it, and it said something about a 'theory of evolution', whatever that is, and that he studied nature a lot."
"Studied nature, did he? Oh well, call him a naturist then - common sense innit. Readers won't have heard of him anyway."

That sign might slow down the guy who led our Sunday ride last weekend. But I doubt it.

 

Some things never change.

 

That would teach them MAMIL'S...

 

when I used to be a highway engineer many moons ago, I replaced over 100 of those in the area I worked after a young cyclist was killed by riding into one.

It would be mortifying if they decided that the offence was too minor to be worth prosecuting...
