Jeez, does it bloody matter!
I thought this news group was supposed to be about cycling, all I've read this last couple of days seems to be about having a good old moan or whinge. It's supposed to be the season of goodwill - lighten-up! George |

As Guy pointed out, it's also the season of bad cycling weather (And accidents it would appear). Thus energy using spent cycling must be vented in other ways. Jon |

But you should. If I read a post that is replying to some point that is going to be made clear to me later down the page, well.... Quite honestly I have no idea what it's about!. Then I read the original point.. Then I go back to remind myself what the response was. Well actually, no I don't. It's been a few years now that I've just ignored top posted responses. I just can't be arsed. The same applies to non-edited responses. I've given up scrolling down to the bottom. to find 'me too' -- Cheerful Pedalling John Mallard |

Why are you signing your post in between every line?
Your behaviour is very odd.
