Richard Osman’s confession had people queuing up to admitting something similar

Richard Osman off the telly had something to confess on Twitter.

One of the upsides of being visually impaired is that today I saw a beautiful cat sitting on a low fence, and, when I crossed the road to stroke it, I discovered it was the handlebars of a bicycle.

Thank goodness he did too because it prompted a whole load of people with ocular issues to confess doing something similar, and we love them for it.

I once thought I saw a rabbit hopping down a busy Birmingham road. It was in fact a Waitrose bag.

My partner is registered blind, I sent him in the utility for a bottle of wine, he came back with a bottle of vodka. That is the point I knew he was the one for me!

Out of vanity I wasn’t wearing my glasses one day. I was waiting at the bus stop and saw a bus in the distance so I put my hand out to stop it. As it got closer I saw it was a fire engine. It stopped, I explained. They’re still dining out on this story!
