Evening all
A pleasant sunny day at Lord's but it was quite clear from early on that my team, Sussex, had no chance of winning so I left before the end to avoid the chaos that develops in the restricted underground service at the weekends. |

Peter, I can just see you wiv your bicycle clips and your cloth cap cycling through the factory gates, a bit like the good old days!  René lives in the land of the bicycles, perhaps he could give you a few lessons? It's like walking, you learn it by practising it.  That explains why I'm not very good at it then.  I will try to get out on it tomorrow, but it looks like rain  |

Morning all.
Harry Patch, Bless him, was not only the last survivor of the "trenches", he was the last survivor of WW! of any of the armies that fought! I guess the WW2 survivors will be next on the list! My own group, the Aden Veterans, are getting smaller each year, it was afterall, about 50 years ago! |

BTW, sorry not to have been around for a few days - got carted off to hospital!!   |
