no not tony dave and frank but the tour de france
I went down the smoke today and it was a great if tiring day out
5 hours of hanging about for a 20 second flash of the peloton

did anyone else catch a sight of it?

bit like the Olympics made me feel proud to be British :)

dave its one of them YOLO as they say
me and my hoddy and his missus went down and met another fella who is a car dealer
the lads that went in got on alright and what we have to do is still there waiting today

I have seen too many men work 6 days a week all their life and pop their clogs at 65

having said that we worked the last 3 saturdays just to get ahead :;):

great shots Giles I know you would have some
I will post my feeble efforts up later ,I had a 4 hour wait followed by a 20 second blast as i was by the 500m mark from the line

cheers LLL
