A few days ago I was waiting to cross the A5 just north of Towcester .
it just so happened that the A5 was moderately busy at the time I wanted to cross, eventually seeing a gap appear in the long line of vehicles I went for it!
On reaching the crown of the road I heard a loud report as my rear tyre rapidly deflated, ( Oh gosh I thought this is rather risky) with the irate sounds of horns ringing in my ears I managed to reach the safe haven of the far grass verge and with shaking fingers effect a repair to the inner tube.
The moral to this storey is : When crossing busy highways consider every eventuality with the view that Sod's Law is all encompassing.
It may just save a hot wash!

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
