They are covered in mud and mold. They wouldn't get open between camps. I know they have nowhere where they can air them out. But why couldn't one of each group of occupants take one home and sling it over the washing line with a bucket of soapy water for the ground sheet and hose down the fabric. Then let it dry properly before packing.

I take it back, they are worse.

Just cleaning out another tent and there is something in the pocket, shoved my hand in.


Thank you very much ladies. A used sanitary towel. What a bunch of dirty mingers.

The English Whisky Company is in South Norfolk. I tasted one of their whiskys last week and it was quite smoky, like a light Islay. Very acceptable, apart from the price.

Never had that trouble when I was in Scouts!

And there was I thinking a nice young lad like you Mike would have joined the scouts just to relieve Baden-Powell at Mafeking.

Damn fine engine.Way more power than my old CX500 guillepumpel and yet sometimes better MPG.I've had as low as 54 Mpg with some spirited riding e.g legal limits plus VAT<grin> but as high as 60+ Mpg which I'm more than happy with

PS
What's that disappearing in my Wing mirrors.Oh yeh it's some smart ar*ed BMW/Merc driver wondering where I went from the lights.MuuHaaaHaaa.......

TomTom anti-theft solution. Checked the one to buy from the TT website and ordered it priority delivery from Amazon. Arrived yesterday. It's doesn't fit.


Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!


After much stamping about and swearing in the garage I have already been refunded online and it was deposited at the local corner shop for Collect+ to return it. At least the refund process was simple. Plus I've now worked out which version I really need...
