Some of those look good, I've been looking at these for a while, I've got a couple of things to look into then I'm going to have to go into these in more detail, I think I'll be looking at older petrol models, Tepee or similar.
 
This evening’s telly find was a second series of Frank Skinner and Denise Mina’s Road Trip on Sky Arts. The first series was excellent, following Boswell and Johnson in Scotland. This series is following Coleridge and the Wordsworths, through their time in Somerset and on to the Lake District. Skinner and Mina make a most enjoyable and heartfelt presenting team. Episode Two aired this evening but by selecting a series link it also gave us Episode One from last week :smile:

@Mo1959 can you post a link to your titanium from Spa Cycles please. Reason is I have a Kinesis, a friend has a Dolan and another friend a Reilly. Other than the positioning of the internal cables the frames are identical.

@ColinJ it's not a question of having the flu and booster jabs on the same day. One can have them at the same sitting just in different arms. At most two minutes apart.

Technically this one, although he couldn’t source 105 at the time so gave me an upgrade to Ultegra for an extra £100, plus it has hand built wheels and not those in the photo. He is very good at swapping stuff around to suit.

No, what I meant was - I was told that the jabs can be given on the same day OR more than a week apart, but NOT 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 days apart. This was apparently for medical reasons NOT for practical reasons.

In my case, I am having 2 separate appointments because the flu and covid jabs are being done in different parts of the building. They have been timed so I don't have to go home and then return later, but I DO have to follow the protocol which is to leave after the flu jab and then reenter a few minutes later via the covid queue at the other entrance!

I have done a quick search and so far I haven't found any official reference to that 1 week delay between the flu and Covid jabs. What I HAVE found is that you should leave at least a week between Covid and Shingles jabs. I suspect that the receptionist may have got mixed up with that...
Just check before they stick any needle in you, that it's not something unexpected they're putting in!!

The receptionist is correct . You can have them at the same time or it has to be a week apart .
My wife is doing covid boosters at the moment at the chemist she works at and they are having to turn away people if they have had the flu jab with in a week .

I could see why they might have to be a gap of a week between jabs but what I don't get is why having NO gap is ok but a short gap isn't! :wacko:
