the bit nearest the roadway in Arundel is a former leper colony. Or so I'm told.

Tis easily done. He would have missed it last time if I'd not ridden behind him shouting "Martin! Look right! Martin! Castle! Oh for feck's sake! MARTIN! CASTLE! ON YOUR RIGHT! NOW!"

T'is true. I was cycling along thinking "Why is someone shouting at me to look right? oooh a castle!"

To be honest, the elephants would be useful TECs. Enormous load carrying capacity (no more broken racks), a very dextrous and manipulative prehensile trunk, and they'd always remember how to do things.
As for the penguins, they're only sorry they missed the very wet ride to Emsworth. They'd be great waymarkers with those flippers.

The major disadvantage with this would be that elephants are restricted to trunk roads.

I hear there's a windmill in Stock. Never seen it myself, so think it might just be a rumour.....

Now before anyone starts taking the p***, I have actually seen the windmill in Stock as well as the brass bear outside the pub.

What brass bear?

 

[martint235]

What brass bear?

The one outside the Bear Inn at Stock. Jeez, and people take the p*** out of me for missing a piddling little castle.

Yep, I remember it now. Have a pic somewhere.

Did any of you eagle-eyed spot the roadside farm sign for ''vintage manure?'' If so, can you remind me where it was? It would have been between Stock and the sunrise stop.

A small village called Appens - about a mile from Southend Radio Station.
