St. Richard Madely was in his high chair this morning on GMB TV basically saying that all cyclists should have registration plates so that if anyone breaks the law they can be easily traced !
So the bad guys won't pay any attention , will break the law anyway and will easily be spotted !
Good thinking !

When I got out of bed this morning the outside temp was already 19C and is now at 24C.
Forecast is much the same for at least another week. We need some rain for the garden.

Strange yesterday when I came home the mother of the guy I sold a bike to approached and gave me a gift of some biscuits and then
"Your cousin in Achiltibuie sends her regards"
"Eh?"
Her son was kayaking at the Summer Isles and stayed at Achiltibue and was conversing with a local. When he remarked that he had just been kayaking around Mull she replied
" I have a cousin lives there his name is XXXX"
Reply astonished
" I bought a bike off him last week and my granny lives just along the road from his house and I"ll be back there soon as he has another bike I fancy"
" Well well give him my regards when you see him"
This is a branch of the family I had lost touch with and not seen for a few years.

True but my reference was about females in kilts. I made no reference to males.

We had a couple of Dysons a few years ago. When they malfunctioned it was impossible for a layman to fix them so we abandoned that make.

You'll be on "This is Your Life" with Eamon Andrews!
"Yes! " You'd thought you had seen the last of your bike when you sold it, but we have managed to find the owner and flown him 24,000 miles even though he lives next door to be with you tonight!"
