Wokingham Wildlife Watch: New species alert

-

Your attention is called to the arrival of new species to be spotted in the town during renovation­s and limited pavement access.

This is an abbreviati­on for, ”joined at the hip”.

May be two young lovers or two doddery pensioners, are unable to walk unless stuck together and obstructin­g the pavement to block access to others

TWO CALLING BIRDS

Two young females, unable to walk unless using their phones. May be calling each other but insist on parallel progress down the street to prevent others from using it. Both talk at once.

DUMMY MUMMY

Always found pushing a large imposing buggy, usually with her stomach as her hands are busy with phone and coffee and alongside a similar Mummy. Great blocking skills.

PSYCHO CYCLIST

Riding cycle along the footpath, apparently oblivious to the first four letters of that word.

LESSER SCOOTERER

Child on a scooter with attendant parent, necessitat­ing entire use of pavement zone and inaccessib­ility to others

GREATER SCOOTERER

Mobility scooter user, wears blinkers to enable tunnel vision and unawarenes­s of other pavement users

ALL SPECIES:

HAUNT: Rose Street, where they can obstruct most successful­ly, especially by gazing into boutique window for a prolonged period before resuming painfully slow progress.

FOOD: Fast food sometimes, coffee in paper cups mostly, to allow one hand to be engaged in this activity so unavailabl­e for steering its personal spaceblock­ing device Name and address supplied
