Edit: answered my question. Speed limit on Ullswater of 10mph. I reckon my RIB planes at a lot less than that.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/4367999.stm

What's the roll call so far then Steve.....

I'm still written in pencil. Just bought the better half a road bike (should have spent it on TTs Twatsoo!) so might see if i have enough brownie points for a day and night, though not if its snowing!!

Landrover sent a team of quality inspectors to visit Toyota to see how they put landcruisers together. To test the air tightness of a landcruiser, they locked a cat in it overnight, if the cat was dead in the morning, the vehicle passed. Great idea thought the LR bods came back to Solihull & locked a cat in a 110 & left it overnight. Great excitement next morning as they opened the door, only to find the cat had gone
