    Ebay rant

    AVOID

    Re: 1. All three listings clearly show the same flaw in the 'H' of Hope. 2. I don't understand the purpose of the second listing ('Hope hub, don't bid') at all. Whatever, he seems to have come to his senses/realised his mistake by the time of the third listing, where he sells it for a couple...

    Great Alan Partridge quotes

    Re: Jill, what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich town centre? I’ll be honest I’m dead against it. People forget that... traders need access to DIXONS.

    Name that Raleigh

    Re: Looks like the 1992 Scorpio, as seen on page 7 (and spec on page 18) here: http://veterancycleclublibrary.org.uk/n ... ary%29.pdf (The same site has a whole load of later Raleigh brochures I'd not seen online before: http://veterancycleclublibrary.org.uk/l ... 5&items=32 )
