Thanks greatly for that excellent compliment coming fro YOU. Now please vomit in my direction the further great honour of being grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. After all I ride a bicycle, a most delightful economical convenient viable means of transport. |

Just reduce the flow of money from tax payers in the south-east to freeloaders in Preston. |
