Or maybe people should just do
what almost everyone does here and realise that life is about more
than the daily grind, and an opportunity to stand outside in the sun,
drink a cold beer, meet people you'd never normally meet, and to cap
it all get to watch some entertaining sport is worth more for your
longterm wellbeing than worrying about ambulance response times*.

I accept that having sat in the back of an ambulance trying to keep
someone conscious while it makes an emergency transfer (with blue lights
and sirens) through London traffic gives me a possibly biased view. The
more so as the route would have been blocked by the TdF route. But it
is indeed a matter of balance. I am glad you are able to be so
nonchalant. And odds are you wouldn't even get to know if some poor sod
died as a result of delay getting to hospital so people can watch the
TdF go by - not even it were one of your friends/family - as the
ambulance service and NHS will of course have made plans.

By the way, you do know how easily London's roads are disrupted, don't
you, so as to give informed consent?
