I could add two black eyes when I get home in the morning to that!


Am hoping to do the return to London as well and hopefully a beer, before going home.

Or Divorce proceeding.. You will stink of baby oil and be grinning like a Cheshire cat, women arent stupid you know.. contary to popular belief..

I, wont be divulging in any beer.. I... must.... pass... aunties.... mileage.....

Even better idea I could get off at Clapham Junction and ride in from there with you, what think you? Train would arrive at 0758

Cool - we can take the scenic route up through Battersea park and follow the river on the north side - past Houses of Parliament etc. There won't be much traffic at that time of day on a Sat.

Come out of the Main entrance at CJ (by where the indoor shops are) and there is a small exit just after the barriers on the left side, next to a news kiosk (opposite M&S Food). Go through the doors and there's a small car park - will meet you there at 8am sharp

Wow, you're in for a treat visiting Southend for the first time. I grew up there and my parents and sister still live there so it's all very familiar territory to me. Our route takes us right past my old house and the sixth form college that I went to, etc.

My sister is threatening to bring her kids to wave at us as we waft past!

I charge £5 a signature! Even for kids!

[Sittingduck]
