    Although, given the reluctance of some posters to reveal their true selves - would they even know?
    I'm having to fell walk at the moment, although even when I have run I think I would fit in to the "of sorts" club

    Well Richard whilst I wouldn't wish to bruise your ego (I rarely attempt the impossible ) top fell runners have never been known to waste their time posting on the Forum, so "of sorts" is a fairly safe description.

    However if eg Oracle is now revealed to be a current multi-Championship, international mountain runner then I may have to asterix my description to allow for this exception.

    But in all modesty...

    That surely is discrimination!
    The Grump way outlives my incognito existence, and so deserves far more attention.
    Is the Grump a modest fell running champion?
    Do you know more than you let on about him Graham? ;-) indeed is oracle ( or Grump) just a Hyde to your Jekyll?

    I have to admit on a recent run, a bystander did indeed confuse me with a “runner” since that is the description they used as I passed. It is true that it is a description which is borderline going up hill, and it is a description that I now consider flattering!

    Meanwhile , I have just found a compelling argument against EU free movement.

    In this far off land I was just attacked by a Yorkshire terrier, which is a breed that should never have been allowed out of Yorkshire, let alone across the channel! Mssr barnier, please note. Jack Russell’s should not be allowed in EU either!

    Conversely, will we be rid of Rottweilers in this country if and when we leave the EU?

    And if Scotland becomes independent, will West Highland Terriers disappear from the lands south of the Cheviots?

    And Golden Retrievers. I won't be happy about that.

    Couldn't we have a points based system for allowing immigrant breeds? Surely Labradors would get a bye??

    Are you sure on these two. I'd want to check their documents to make sure they weren't from the dark side.
