Saw a moped with matey on pillion, dragging two wheelbarrows behind with his hands.
:thumbup:

And it's nice of the council to provide moped parking all over the city and leaving pedestrians to risk life and limb with the traffic. No wait, they're pavements. :lol:

And the council dust carts play revolutionary music whilst out on the job. Ho Chi Minh would be proud! :thumbup:

More south east from sunny Penrith. 07:20 in the morning, rises in the east but its winter so lower and doesn't go as much east or west as in summer.

Probably not due to pollution over Liverpool then. :)

More an incoming weather alert...maybe.

If that bothers you you are driving far too close. I think it was you who suggested 30 - 40 metres when you are looking for an overtake.

To be fair, that one is possibly better than the ladder I saw hung* in the side of a car.
