If you can afford Newbury, you can afford Wales.


That depends where you want to go in Wales.

Anyway I see with the races came the idiot motorists, where ever they were from.

Newbury cannot cope with race day traffic, but if you have to drive there please don't pull onto a roundabout when your way ahead is blocked because you block it for everyone else then you cause traffic jams.
It's not hard have some courtesy. Everyones in a hurry but if your patient the traffic will move a lot better. Why when people get in their little metal bubbles to they loose their senses!!! angry.gif

Beat me to it, lordtup, regarding Lloyd George. He was also a crook (selling peerages - not much changes, does it?). Not been watching Andrew Marr, then GMR?

All together now: "Mae hen wlad fy Nhadau..."

I have been watching Andrew Marr and read his books as well. But that is not where I got my information on Lloyd George. I've studied him. Yes he sold peerages but he also brought Britain a lot as well.


As Chancellor of the Exchequer he introduced many reforms which laid the groundwork to the modern welfare state. He created the Parliament act that gave Parliament more power over the Lords. He was Prime Minister during the World War I (Asquith was there at the beginning). After the war he led a coalition of Tories, Labour and Liberals and rebuilt this country. In the Second World War many called for him to lead the country and Churchill considered for a post in his war cabinet. You may not consider him a great PM, but many political and historical historians do.

NO, please no more traffic lights, that's the problem in some places, too many of them. Burger king problem is caused by the police station roundabout lights that, knock on all the way back up the road.

Bye the way, it was quiet in the LSB in so far as drunk people, indeed it was quite pleasent. There were some northerners, but no Welsh. I expect if they would have been there, they would have been fine as well.

This was a good one.

Well, seeing that it did, according to the NWN report, did you have a bet on it?
