Hi Lewis, in the early 1950's a cousin of mine who was a married man with children, was riding home from work on his
motorbike with sidecar, by all accounts it was a filthy winter night pouring with rain, he was hit and killed by a police car.
The following inquiry found the police car was not on any kind of call and that the collision was high speed, it turns out
that they were joy riding, my mum worked at north middlesex hospital where he was taken, she asked if she could see
him but the doctor advised against it as his injuries were so bad, he had an arm and leg ripped off. When I came ashore
from the MN I found that two of my old school mates had been killed on bikes, so like yourself I don't see it as a joke. JF

Johno in Oz.
I too was there mate. I've never forgot. One inscription gave name, rank, corps and age, seventeen. and below it inscribed "This corner of a foreign field that is forever England" your sister Jean. (from the poem by Rupert Brooke, "The Soldier"). Impossible to see and read that stone without shedding a tear...I did.

Rodders, I too shed a few when I read some of the headstones, so young and so many.
My wife would not come in with me she said it would be too distressing, she was right.

Hi Cappy.
The Welsh have 600 castles built to keep them down, check out Castles In Wales on Google, don't know about Britain ruling the world but it took a lot of builders to keep us in place. ha ha.

If you want to see old castles and ruins of some then go to Ireland. Almost one on every street corner.
In the town of Fethard in Co. Tipperary there is the largest still remaining city wall and some other buildings any where in Europe.

Have to boost my home town of Durham, Beautiful castle and cathedral.

Ivan's remark was a bit below the belt especially when members of one's family were participants in the thrilling, yet dangerous sport of motor cycle racing.
