Re: Insurance quote

Bikesure appear to work the same way. Listen to what the customer wants and do their best to provide it.

Re: Insurance quote

... root cause. My comment was a bit flippant and having a friendly dig at D41, but the truth is still there. We could design bikes and ride in a way that there would be no or little risk. But then it wouldn't be fun :)

Re: Weekend plans

Re: Weekend plans

I need to move. There's a house around the corner from me, with 4 bedrooms but a small garden, that's going for £400k.

A house like that one you've detailed would be worth about £350k around my way. That'll go up to £450k within a mile down the road towards the city centre.

That's an accessory seat. I wouldn't get that particular one, it's quite hard but fits the derrière nicely so is comfortable in a way.

Right! Makes sense now (even more after a google). I'm a fallen catholic and yet I'd never come across pancake day. Luckily it seems that tradition didn't make it down this way.
