Unfortunately, it's unlikely I'll be able to make it as I will struggle to be able to gt two consecutive weeks away from work. However I am happy to help with planning again if needed. I'd hope to be able to join you for a few days if that's ok? You and Linda would be very welcome to assist and joi...

Good evening WIMPS, This is the point of the year when i have to ask who is actually doing this ride. The Whiteside's are, on the dates previously posted, with Hattie the campervan and Connor, Molly and Ella as our team. A support van is available with fuel card. I understand that stuff happens and ...

I wholly agree with Landsurfer in that you do the Lejog or Jogle your way. I rode (and walked)it all, Landsurfer rode most of it. He completed his, I completed mine. It was a pleasure ride.....it wasnt going for any records....it was whatever we wanted it to be. Both Landsurfer and I started togeth...

She's paid more and has not been threatened with a knife by any 10 year old girls .... Work a...

This is genuinely baffling, i ride in groups all the time .... but no one is the leader .... The faster ones tend to be in front, they get to T junctions first to a...

Vittoria Adventure ... are good tyres.

Whats the point ... your a zealot .....

Apologies for the knee jerk face as well .... David. I work in the rail industry ... it's a long way from perfect.. a long way. The nationalisation of the East Coast service a couple of years ago was a major success for the government, financial and service. But that was a nationalisation by a capit...

Isn't that the point being made,under full UK government control the people's travel interests would be paramount an any profit would mean lower fares and a better service Or just more union strikes ..... The UK government don't give a flying fec for the peoples interests as we have seen over the l...

The subsidy goes more or less straight into the shareholders pockets. I take it someone independent has looked at the accounts of Operators which shows the subsidies being paid to the shareholders ? ALSO ... Interesting how many national governments are in receipt of subsidies to run UK railways. S...

I read just the other day that the railway companies get more in subsidies than they ever did when state run. And much of it goes to shareholders and massive salaries. Whilst the tax payers/users are treated with contempt,it doesn't surprise me in the least. Why anyone thinks the utilities includin...

PR is the only way forward ..... look how successful it has been in Northern Ireland ...... OH ..wait a minute .... :roll: You say one thing in public and another in private :roll: It's as PDQ says,in NI it's far better than what went before,presently in the rest of the UK the tail constantly wags ...
