and away it goes down stream,
Something else was trying to get in the river today,   over the past few months I have had the pleasure of seeing a shopping trolley,park bench,footballs traffic cones a waste paper bin or rather a doggy poo park bin and today this unusual sight of a bicycle looks like the owner  missed the water while doing a jump off the dolerw park suspension bridge,  I hope the silly **** has broken his neck

it takes two minutes to get to the river from the bridge and the seat had dissapeared
