My brother still works for them and says it's a shambles. I had 19 years as a postie glad I'm not there now

My star always comes on Thursday, expected today this week but it's not arrived and with no Saturday deliveries anymore it's going to be Monday now. Typical. Normally no problems with Royal Mail round here

Just spotted this Sid I was there only 15 but I remember it, I think we were riding Swindon that night which makes sense but I'd have to check it out. Strange isn't it the golden helmet meant so much back then but today wouldn't mean a thing today

I've got 4 theatre shows booked with atg, 2 of which have been cancelled and atg sent me voucher codes. I got in touch and said I wanted cash refunds and TBF they said no problem. However they said it could take 10-14 to get it to my bank then another 10-14 days to get back to me. Obviously there just holding onto it to get more interest in whatever it's invested it. Poor service tho but as long as I get the money back eventually

Bernie has always been my favourite rider however he should have gone for that move, I've watched it time and time again and altho there might have been a small gap it was out of order. Briggo could well have gone on then to be world champ

When lockdown kicked in my local starting selling pints at £2.50 to take home usually £3.00 in the pub but as much as I wanted it to taste the same it didn't. They stopped the take away service pretty quick

Good read again this week

Looking back to the glory days the answer is simple. All the top riders were here then but that's never going to happen again. Without being a defeatist I can't see how we can change things around over here especially with the current situation as well. Would love to be proved wrong tho

I remember walking round the park about 5 in the morning with people asleep on the grass because indoors was too warm, i lived on an estate of flats back then. I had a radio with me and Stevie Wonder's You are the Sunshine of my Life came on. Strange what you remember

Phil, why wouldn't monthly or maybe fortnightly work? Surely better than shutting down for a few months

Anyone who thinks what was working 30 - 40 years ago is the way forward is deluded. However, the way things are now is definitely not working. The answer? No idea.

I know, not scum

Two of my son's have no income at the minute but wouldn't sink to this

Yeh I would, may still go on the Sunday. There's more going on at the minute to get worked up about it I suppose. Had a mate die today, focuses the mind a bit

Poor from bsi even tho it does state this in their terms and conditions. I've had another event moved to the Saturday of the son so can only attend the Sunday now. Will decide nearer the time whether to sell my tickets. I've a feeling it won't be going ahead tho

Hey Steve I'm friendly, honest lol

Already ordered on line Phil, looking forward to getting it again. Thanks anyway. I know it may be a few days but that's ok

Cheers Steve

I'm going to order a subscription now but I'd like this week's, sounds good. Is the issue date I put in today, tomorrow or Saturday?

Was Bruce's first season 78? What was his average if so, I remember his first meeting where he got 1 or 2 from 4 rides I think. You could tell he was going to be special tho

Gave the chap on Tesco checkout a fiver yesterday to have a pint on me. You'd have thought I'd offered to pay he's mortgage he was so grateful. Made me think I don't reckon many had made the gesture. Then again I don't know where he's going to buy the pint

Moved to October 24th and 25th, I can't make the Saturday . Nothing about refunds

I've started receiving emails from theatres and gig ticket suppliers offering refunds or other options , nothing from this yet tho . Surely there not going to refuse refunds or other options

I remember that decider at Dudley Wood I'm presuming Swindon were there that night. Remember the golden helmet being a big thing back then
