Saw a Guv'nor on the Birmingham Sky Ride last year, if i recall correctly his good lady was riding a Princess or Poppy, both very nice bikes.
It's Waitrose!!!
Now I always thought that was Stephen Fry but it's not that important really.Favorite Alen Coren Quote: "The only point of Sainsburys is to keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose..."

I would have thought that the drum brakes would have been pretty effective? Still, at least you don't have rims covered in black gunge on a wet day.[
it has the handling of a canal barge, doesn't accelerate well, or, with those SA hub brakes, doesn't decelerate all that well either. It's wonderfully stable on fast downhills and when up to speed, bowls along nicely and with great style.
The SA three speed, is two gears more than my usual (most-ridden) bike and it climbs surprisingly well. Crested a one in five on it this morning.
In town, it's a drunk magnet. The local alcoholics lurch and stagger across the road and breathing through alcoholic fumes, tell me what a great bike it is.
At least I think that's what they're saying.
Indeed, I remember hearing it "live" myself.Nope - I actually heard the late great Alan Coren say it on the News Quiz when it was broadcast
(in 2007 apparently!)
