Spoilsport. Anyway it's not actually a lie, that picture is genuine just not complete... The developers say it won't flood but then they would say that. Can you see the raised ground in the background? That is where they are building. Not in the drainage area in the foreground. It's plain to see (n...

All my bikes for 50 years have been and will remain steel. There were 2 exceptions. I bought an aluminium Cannondale and sold within a month. Plus a very early 1994 Giant Cadex-1 week! Steel will in my opinion never be bettered for a proper ride. All those on Carbon have usually not ridden steel. T...

Re: the seafood debacle l think Johnson has a point about the lack of restaurant trade. Here deer stalkers are not shooting wild deer because the principal market - restaurants - has all but disappeared. The venison you see in shops is farmed venison, cheaper and easier to produce to a certain stan...

I use a phone and have done for many years. Basically a phone and a GPS are computers and just run whatever navigation software is installed. The GPS units are much inferior to phones as a computer. There are many different TBT apps available for Android, it's just a matter of choosing one you prefe...

Last time I rowed on water was in something similar on Lake Windermere a number of years ago. I was offered one of these in the summer, a traditional Windermere skiff. 900 quid with trailer. Needed a bit of work but mainly a complete strip and revarnish. Busy at the time so turned it down, somethin...

Never even been on one. Most of my rowing was with something like this. Rowing not that brilliant on tidal water so ended up buying an outboard. Is there any similar device you can get to work the rowing machine for you? https://www.fyneboatkits.co.uk/photos/products/stem/rowing-stem-dinghy-fyne-boa...

Years ago on farms you were expected to carry more than your own body weight. I remember father saying they used to carry 'railway sacks' holding 18 stone of wheat or 22 stone of clover seeds. They'd do this all day, every day at threshing time. The worst bit was carrying them up a ladder into a fi...

I assume you are all Brits, but boy oh boy, reading of biking in Siberia, that super deep lake in Russia, or anywhere that the lady describes -40, -50c temps, it's just really hard getting my head around. As a Canadian growing up doing outdoor activities, and being out at times at -20c regularly, a...

Spot on,comonly termed as an,A1,first class,tw@t,who has nothing in common with the ordinary people he's supposed to represent :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: You are right about him but the voters chose him. What does that say about the area he represents. :( The same as the whole of the UK the vote...

Dunno what the largest panniers are but I'd lay money they're home made by someone who knows how to use an industrial sewing machine.
