I recall that as a lad my mind did wander onto all sorts of matters () while walking so I don't suppose I was any more attentive crossing the road than lads today ... but at least I wasn't distracted by a mob or an i-pod - I suspect that the code needs amending to include something like when crossing a road witch off all appliances?
Were you on a foreign posting Paul.. I am sure I was taught 'Look right, look left, then right again'
