Let me guess, every day exactly at 6am. Only problem is that you don't wake up till 6.30 :twisted:

£3.20 for a single oyster trip and £4.30 for cash single ticket .... what ever that means :shock:

Regular travellers in London use an Oyster Card. This is a prepaid card, which is used to touch a special panel on public transport devices. A discounted fare is then deducted from the amount on your card. In this case using an Oyster Card will save you £1.10 on the journey, or almost 25%.

Pavel, having seen a friend suffer an emergency of this nature, I now always carry the following in my rucksack or pockets if I am without the rucksack.

Travel Toilet Roll


and a pack of wet wipes.


It is amazing how often I have had to give these to friends to use in the last few years, yet they all laughed at me when I started to carry them :shock:

Cheers

No real faff busymum, get a cheap set of wheels as well when you buy the tyres. Then it is a fairly simple job to swap them over twice a year. Plus you get the benefits of having tyres which are better suited to the conditions even in the UK.

A certain chain, who use "fitters" who you can't get better than, were even offering a deal last year where they would store the wheels not on your car at the time for you. Obviously there was a small charge for this, but they also did the swapping of the wheel for you.

Many thanks for your reply, looks like we shall stick to our original decision and go for Lech.

Once again I am 100% in agreement with you Pavel.

Perhaps the solution would be to create a new grade of piste, say a blue diamond (I would guess that most of these stunts tend to occur on blue runs or easy reds, due to it being where people are practising things), which is separate from a full blown ski park, and then assign specific areas where the general skier knows that he needs to be aware that people may also be trying basic stunts. To back this up, you would need to have sever penalties for people who try these stunts on standard marked pistes.

:D

Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding MattSki_score.

Holy cow, as if the speed was not impressive enough, I just love the way he switches back at the bottom.
