Rear End Shunt On Green Route

Track of the day - Bye Bye Blackbird - Pete Fountain.

I watched these two beetling off on a journey to somewhere or other. The one at the front kept going for a while and then executed a perfect emergency stop.
The one at the back couldn't have had his brakes seen to since last year's major service and the end result was another major pile up on Bogsville's green route.
It's possible that the little bogger at the back might have had his mind set on early morning sex. Well it beats a day devouring aphids, even if you're a bug.

This picture of a moonerduck reminds me that I had a mail from some old coot who said yesterday's piece about yellow jacketed constables being an endangered species was a load of crap.
It seems that there is no shortage of yellow jacketed constables it's just that they are so tied up with red tape they can't get out off the station to patrol the streets.
Personally I can't wait to get a yellow jacketed constable complete with red tape trimmings in front of my lens.
The red tape must be an important part of the courtship display.
I bet the males have the red tape trim while the females make do with the more muted yellow and black as shown in yesterday's picture.
Local Labour MP John Spellar came up with a solution to the problem.
"We've got to make the paperwork simpler so we have the police out there" on the job.
The question is, does he really mean 'simpler' as in 'dumbed down'or does he mean less paperwork? I suspect a crash course in reading and writing might help.

Which gets me back, indirectly, to the aforementioned pile up on the green route.
Much as I feared, the rear end shunt turned out to be lust driven and nothing more than the prelude to another shameless open air bonking session.
Needless to say there were no yellow jacketed constables to observe it.
I suspect they had strolled off to the RSPB nature reserve to sort out complaints about the moonerduck.
