Yes, I saw this on Twitter - I follow the guy on there, he has some interesting videos and enjoyable observations. The day before, I was cycling through Whitechapel when an Ambulance passed me and I thought the passenger shouted something. When I caught up with them, I took a look at the passenger, expecting nothing - I was half expecting that I had misheard or imagined it but sure enough, the paramedic asked me: "Do you know what that blue strip that we all paid for is for?", pointing at the cycle lane. I said, "We? What as in you and I? Yes, I know what its there for, why?" She told me that it was there to stop them having to scrape me off the road after I get mown down by a lorry.
Of course, I pointed out what the Highway Code says and asked her how much cycling she's done in London; she said "None". I told her I've been cycling in London for 23 years, so I knew a bit more about the risks of my being mown down than she did. I also told her that her lack of cycling knowledge was exceeded only by her lack of rudimentary HC knowledge and that she should be utterly ashamed of herself.
Very sad day for me when the caliber of emergency services people are revealed to be as per that particular individual. The next day I find that we have Met Police at the same level of ignorance.
