It's just awful journalism:

Retired civil servant Susan Currall, 75

Has spent her entire career [i]serving[/i] people like you.

Make him sound like a bore:

Mr Ramage, an expert in timbrel vault building

Finally, put in a very unflattering photo of him (a smug face that anyone would want to slap).

Even though she's a remorseless self-righteous old lady:

A lot of people will be applauding me for what I did because cyclists can be such a pain in the neck.

Surely the whole slant of the article should be on how [i]****ing minging[/i] getting poo thrown at you is.

Cyclist often ride like utter cocks on shared paths, their probably the same people who drive like cocks in cars. The guy needs to man up, what sort of bloke upsets old ladies then goes mincing to the plod. Why not stop and ask what's getting her so angry?

cyclists often cycle like utter cocks on shared paths and pedestrians pretty much always wander around oblivious even to the existence of a bike aspect

as stated, he was owned, but surely she should get an anti-social behaviour ordure
