I blame it on the fact that we keep voting (socially conservative) Libertarians (at least financially) in the form of the Tories into government.

When did that last happen then?

Not everyone does do it. as ive said myself I only do it when its hot and I run vestless usually with my no un folded on the front centre of my shorts, or when the weathers bad and im in a jacket or likely to be in it, in this case this must be safer for everyone? scoffer regularly runs vestless "RO" guess he doesn't see it as a problem? also rucksac straps help to hide numbers. I noticed on the pics of borrowdale 3-4 runners near the back end of the field with no number visible this is unacceptable.
I've gradually stopped using the calendar, the figures are meaningless to me. Thank goodness the website still has both on the listings, i don't know who is doing the legwork for it all, i suspect maybe Brett, but thankyou whoever you are.Quote:

Although it's a bit tricky to think about, and you do need to go "so how many miles is that", it's not really all that hard.
When i'm reading the calendar i won't be able to access that site becuase the calendar is not a tablet or a laptop.Quote:
