Thanks for pointing that out Eddie. I always wear one :worried:

Eric.. sri mate, I forgot to add I'm too far out to pick up ATIS at BHX. It's on my scanner but has thus far remained silent :(

So did they finally get back to you with a job offer or was that a bit of light reading?

Eddie - are you doing the detective course, now? :lol: You may have missed the chapter about circumstantial evidence! :lol: my helmet is behind me and the baseball hat is Tom's. As he's 20 he knows everything, can do what he likes and is as stubborn as his mother :-# I may be guilty of not being street legal, though, and you may have shared my lack of reflectors with Wiltshire Police already. But they've still got to catch me on a street :lol:

Seriously, though - good advice about helmets, it's easy to topple over and hit your head at very low speeds although on that route my biggest fear is falling in the canal and drowning :S and please don't tell me I need to wear a lifejacket :doh:

Ian :)

Ian,don't wear a life jacket,it would make you look silly.No, I would,suggest attaching a trailer and carrying a self inflating life raft.Much more sensible. :agree: EricT
