... which works in the Department for Trade - they don't have any skills to do so as we discussed it. Worse than that they were explicitly told last year that they could not spend any money or time preparing for brexit as it was not going to happen. Internally the civil service is in utter turmoil. ...

It's not all that bad. Rumours of a new Ducati V4 superbike and an all new Fireblade next year. We've never had it so good to be fair

Me and Kwacky hit it last year. Unfortunately we hit it at the same time as a million gallons of rain!!!

Car insurance is out of the question (£3k for a 2.2 tdci Mondeo) because of 2 claims last year on bike policy but this thing is costing me £54 for the year fully comp. Christ knows who comes up with these figures. I was looking at a winter ...

Cheers for the info Duke

If there 45k I will be quite surprised but equally pleased and I do hope your mate is right.

They make money out of Top Gear, well at least they did with the old team. Something like 40 million pounds a year in profit.
