Well - the anti lock brakes on the car work!

2 lads - ages 12/13 - were waiting at a t@junction on a minor road
I was driving along the major road
they looked left - looked right - looked left again
then one of them just went anyway!!!

one of those - try to push the brake pedal to the floor and hope the person behind stops to
better for him to hit my boot than me hit the kid

I stopped in time - he was about a foot from the front of my left headlight
he looked pretty shaken!!


anyway - I waved them across while i was stopped and nothing was coming
better to get them across the road than wonder what they are going to do as I start moving!!!


I mean - Yea Gods - he might have dented my bonnet with his head!!!

I like to work my way around the top, nibbling off the crenellations. This is followed by prising off the pastry lid and eating that, if it's deep fill then there's often a fair bit of filling adhering to the underside of the lid. The next step is to work your way round again, this time removing the pastry case from the side leaving you with a delicious mound of filling on a pastry base 😁

Home from Leeds, got back at 3.30pm really easy journey, I like Leeds could quite happily live there.

I'm not renewing my Cycling UK membership this year so saved myself £53 and deleted my account after 22 years

My membership auto renewed before the date it was supposed to, I was not going to renew. I decided to complain by ringing . Got a message that because they changed the membership pages they are getting a high volume of calls. 45 minutes minimum wait. I sent a email 5 days ago but no reply. not happy.
