Yep plenty of things from years gone by in the firing line I read a good article on pubs over the weekend , roughly two a day closing in the UK. The writer interviewed a fella who took over a popular pub in his area (Lake District) that had closed pre-covid he took over reigns in 2021 said when he started gas and electric £1,500 was per month he chucked keys in mid 2025 and gas and electric then £3,500 per month. Add in the plus wage going up, employer ni threshold cut , cost of living meaning more people just having a pint and no food or staying at home as the ex landlord said "covid got us all into the mindset of staying at home more". One of my richest friends owns a pub locally turns over a million a year but still loses money, luckily he can use the old trick of offsetting the losses against his other business which is an absolute cash cow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the late arrivals missing track walks and parades. Not going for victory laps when asked. Dirty bikes and twice just not turning up giving very little notice. Michael lee was more reliable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Lee had the class on the track to help in forgiving any misdemeanours. Lawson obviously can’t be ars*d in better company. As Poole fans are quick to say , he’s not a problem for them . But then he wouldn’t be with the mediocrity he races against in that competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 'mediocrity' do you mean most of the riders who ride in both leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 5 teams in the premiership have around 3 riders who don’t double up and more than hold their own over in Poland. That’s what I mean. The championship on the other hand , different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
