Could this be the most pointless letter to the Argus EVER?

Death on roads
While walking to catch the bus into Brighton last week, I was alarmed by a terrible screeching sound. When I turned around to look, I saw a poor cat screaming in pain, trying to move, having been hit by a car.
The stream of cars were halted by one that stopped a few yards further up the road, with many cars hooting impatiently until I signalled that it was an accidental hold up.
Then two ladies, including the driver of the car, attended this poor animal.

This set me thinking, how often do we see squashed birds and other creatures on our roads? Something that didn't happen when I was a lad. It couldn't happen. We walked everywhere, or boarded a tram, and there were few cars about then.

For God's sake, Reg. Take up Bowls or something. I bet his war stories are just as riveting.

Should we have a minutes silence and a collection

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

Is the cat.....d......d.....dead? or will we have to wait for the next instalment from Reg Moores?

 

[Hiney]

Should we have a minutes silence and a collection

A minutes chirping or purring I think would be more appropriate.

It is what they would have wanted.

 

[The Large One]

Can we make a tennis racquet out of the roadkill?

 

[Woodchip]

The cats of today!! They never look where they're going. I blame the parents.

 

[Goodfella]

We shouldn't have a min silence, maybe just paws for thought.

 

[JJ McClure]

What about the cats of Mileoak?
Will no-one think about the cats of Mileoak

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

Aren't most people, that knocked down in the city centre, hit by buses? Reg Moore is advocating using these death machines instead of cars. In fact, you normally see a large amount of squashed birds in the bus/taxi only area of Western Road. Reg

Whilst up to my elbows in the sink last week, handwashing the same pair of socks I've worn for the past 48 years, I happened to glance out the window. On the street below was a young lady of around 25 years of age, who appeared to be talking into her hand. After gazing more intently, I surmised that she was in fact using a portable telephone device, popular with the youth of today. This got me thinking. Such occurences were unheard of back in the day, when all correspondence was conducted by penny post, and the night carriage from London Town used to arrive each morn with the mail, the horses' breath steaming in the dawn light. In those days, there was no chance of mistakenly thinking passers by were communing with their palm - something we'd do well to remember.

The suspense is killing me, what a genius of a writer Reg is!

 

[Stat Brother]

You should have left his name off, then run a sweep stake as to what it might be.

Oh hang, possible flaw being it was always going to be a Reg or maybe Cecil.

 

[Uncle C]

We shouldn't have a min silence, maybe just paws for thought.

Just as long as you dont milk it.

Has there been any fur-ther developments?

 

[The Large One]

I spy a wind-up here. This Reg Moores obviously doesn't like cats.

It's obvious innit?
