Is it all a stitch-up?

I have recently plucked up courage to cycle in London. Although it seems suicidal on first sight, I quickly found my way through marvellous and very expensive residential areas of Kensington and Chelsea. Cycling through the innocent morning quietness of Hyde Park made me feel more energetic and in fact proofed to be the quickest way to work. I was almost eager to get to the office in the morning and taking a slightly new route every day I discovered some hidden treasures and found some of the most beautiful streets in London.

Stopping on a red light however, is not what pedestrians nor cyclists do in the capital. Hence one evening a random women approached me at a traffic light. She was a bit baffled by me stopping and used the opportunity to tell me about her youth and how she used to ride her bike in the streets of London some years ago. She then referred to a particular chapter, even more, a particular page number of a book and strongly advised me to read it. Well, I thought the situation was a bit odd and thankfully the green light served as a perfect excuse for me to ride on.

Bizarrely the incident followed me home. You don't get reading recommendations at a traffic light every day. I looked up the book - "The Biggest Secret: The Book That Will Change the World" by David Icke. Scientists have called it the conspiracy theorist's Rosetta Stone. It reveals how the world has been controlled by a global elite for thousands of years and how, and why, Princess Diana was murdered in Paris.

I haven't read the book as of yet, but admittedly, it is a very strange advice from a random lady who showed up in the dark at a traffic light, as if this was the right situation to be unobserved.
I am not a very big fan of conspiracy theories, but maybe the book will change my life... or be at least entertaining...
