HUGE baby buggies, heavier people and kids on scooters threaten the UK with pedestrian gridlock by 2015.
Researchers found that the time it takes to traverse an average street has risen by 35 minutes over a decade, due to the increasing width and sluggishness of British foot traffic.

Malley added: “We must punish careless obstructors, particularly businessmen trailing wheeled briefcases. Pick it up and carry it, you lazy bastards.
