One of the vintage bods will probably be able to identify the bike for you!!

Paging @biggs682, @stevevw et al!!


It looks quite smart anyway whatever it is!! (I can't vouch for the person sitting on it though! ).

I like your avatar by the way, its very smart!

The flag of Nova Scotia, as posted by @Dayvo a few weeks ago, and which I said I'd use as my avatar at some point. It seems apt in the lead-in to the referendum vote, where we are voting for our own "new Scotland", to use it now.

Indeed, I have seen it about too but having forgotten what it was I never really made the connection

There look like a fair few perfectly normal houses in that Guardian gallery. Not the big flash & really tacky monstrosities that the current wendyballers live in.
No pics of me. There aren't any pics of me as my Mother wasn't one for taking pictures.

We were next door neighbours to Jimmy Conway, who played for Fulham and Ireland.
Today he would be paid millions and live in a mansion behind gates, in the 1970's he lived in a three bedroom house in New Maldon, with normal folk.

We lived around the corner from Kevin Keelan the Norwich City Goalie and 2 roads down was Duncan Forbes, the Norwich City Captain. Both in perfectly normal houses and Kevin Keelan's eldest daughter was in my school class for a while.
