isn't that odd? :shock: I didn't think anyone really installed fixed grip anymore, I wonder what led to that decision?

I've not been to Salford for a long time :D High Wycombe and Oxford are next on the UK trip list

Thanks

There's not a train that goes that route, you can go via long route changing four or five times but you'd be a lot, lot better off with a bus and I'd not expect the timetable to be out yet. Someone like Satobus would the place to start.

err.. actually I have and more recently than you've been to Haute Nendaz as well where I've also been recently. Both at the less interesting end of places I get to go though.

another post on the same forum

ah.. forums :lol: I've been surprised to discover that some people post things on forums that's not strictly true, surprised if not indeed rocked to my core :D

I was pretty certain that was untrue so I didn't have any concern about asking the guy lounging around the border, I realised later if I'd been wrong I was asking for a fine :lol: but he confirmed the law had altered since last year and all that was the EU wide thing. The fine for that incidentally isn't 130 € it's "only" 90 €.

They had a leaflet advising that they recommended having two though, I've not but that does sound a good idea so I think I'll get an extra one for our cars.

I've not seen that and it's normally plastered all over our local press with signs at the border sometimes, I went over the border twice yesterday and didn't see anything and I'll be doing the same today. If the flics stop me I'll ask them about that.

Where did you see that?

That was when the bidders name was shown. Sure enough the same bidders were bidding on everything I was bidding on. Strange as they were completely different items. I contacted ebay and it was a con, the person had 6 ebay accounts and was putting everything up. All their accounts were cancelled.

exactly, had that been happening with Ski Bilek it would have not gone unnoticed and they'd have been shut down on ebay sometime ago. Ebay seem to be getting better and better at spotting fraud using their automated systems, a load of stuff is going to get through but it's hard for someone to run a long term large scale scam.

that's a bit unfair, Bracknell really isn't that bad :lol:
