The quote unquote tags are for quoting other posts, I think. Completely irrelevant when referring to a recollection of an interview published about 10 years ago in a magazine. As are quotation marks for that matter, since it was a paraphrase. It was clear enough from a later reply to TM that I also ...

Could you really imagine people who buy the Big Issue reading books? Class act. We buy the Big Issue. Not every week but occasionally. There is a seller in our shopping centre whom we've known for several years - I don't know his exact circumstances because we've never asked - anyway whenever he sp...

I don't know what the terms were or who the other luminary was. Sounds like something James Lovelock might come out with, but that's an uninformed guess.

Who does buy the big issue? I've never really seen anyone buying one but obviously they do because it's still going well and helping people get back on track. What are they like? What are they like politically? I do, sometimes. Plus the occasional book! In cities I would guess sales are quite high,...

I suspect his course of action will be to continue as he's done for the past 40 years or so. I don't think he was depending on the post to pay off his mortgage or anything like that. Having said that I do agree that stitch ups can't be justified. I remember he was doing the rounds for one of his boo...

The title of the OP. And the title of the Guardian article. No, it's a question, and the article concerned gives a specific context for that question. I spotted that it was a question and my answer was that it isn't a question worth asking because it cannot be fulfilled. We cannot stop people using...

Not Churchill, George Bernard Shaw.

So that's it then. A newspaper feeding its angel-complex readership with lies, about people who must be a bit thick.
Heartwarming stuff.

Some people are still interested to hear when it was that South Africa was such a safe place for children to play all those decades ago Freddie.

We can leave talk of angels and devils out of it as well, now it's all about plain speaking.

The Strines Rd is indeed another good option, get to it via Burbage moor and Labybower as per the first suggestion above (it connects the a57 and the a628), then plot a loop through the numerous lanes eastwards of it via Bolsterstone / Bradfield / Dungworth. If it's reasonably dry, Wyming Brook Lane...

A variation on the above, but presented in reverse order: Follow Abbeydale Rd to Millhouses and at some lights by a set back pub turn right up Whirlowdale Rd (no through road to cars so you cross a pavement). Up to the end then right onto Abbey Lane, left at end onto A625, plod up to the moors until...

Thanks Brucey, helpful as ever.

Currently I've got a bike set up with the above hub. To enable luggage carrying and use on Peak District hills the range is set up at roughly 36-48-64, but I've recently come across the efneo crank product which could potentially increase the range significantly. I'd be looking to set up with a low ...

Not really. The quantity of dog waste on pavements and public fields and the lack of any bleating culture in the media suggests fines aren't handed out that often. Up to £1000 doesn't add up to much if it's based on multiples of zero.
