I HAVE WITNESSED THE NEW AGE OF AUSTERITY

As I walked out this morning to buy me daily suspensive-sustenance I spyed with my little eye something beginning with B.

It was a bicycle clip - in fact two bicycle clips being worn by a biker.
Yes yes, one on each lower leg. Bugger me do I need to be so pedantic?

Anyway : these clips were not the old type where a flexi-all-round thing is the rage.
These bicycle clips were clothes pegs clipped on the outside of the legs and trousers.

It seems to me that such innovative pegging should be allowed on expenses for any politician. A message to all it would be.
