- Mmmmmmmm ... That's nothing. Here at Coventry University, some zebra crossing
- lines were added near the D block due to mass fluctuations of students going
- to lectures in the other buildings on the other side of the road. I nearly
- got run over by a granny while using those lines !!! Those who do give way,
- are usually very impatient and try to rev up their engines just to scare the
- hell out of us. Now, can someone out there tell me what's the point of having
- these lines?
