    Amex on the Virgin Credit Card. Visa on the same Card. My last 'swap' was 2 months ago (£4,750) - no charges - no fee. Need to pay it off (or transfer) within the next 3.5 months to 'escape' any interest. Egg was also advertising this (some time ago though). Believe MBDA has a similar scheme at the moment - Also Santander had this early last year. (G@@GLE is your 'friend').

    Amigo Loans - You will need a guarantor. These days they all charge a fee for balance transfers, but it's still a very good way to get money quickly with no repayments needed until the zero percent expires. Just make sure you dont use the card for any purchases otherwise you pay interest charges on the purchases until you've cleared the total debt. Not true! I get a letter almost monthly advising that I can trasfer credit at no charge.

    According to their listed details, they are 'opposite the Wingfield Arms'. The 'pin' is on the post code position from the Cafe 'location' details. Anyhoo - you get the 'tag'.

    Ollie, As I am riding down and Sue will be taking the car - we will have room for you (and your 'kit') should you wish it. Current plan is to leave mid-morning on the Friday and 'escape' around mid-morning on the Sunday. Also happy for you to come over to Brampton on the Thursday evening and stay over (that way, there is no rush and you get a 'free' breakfast). Over to you..... PM me. Al

    It will start first time when you try! At least you did not have it blow over on the trailer like the guys yesterday - A nice 'Blade' with a nice 'dink' in the tank now.

    Check to see if you can feel any play in the front wheel (push/pull top/bottom) - If so, your wheel bearing is loose / worn. Check to see if there is any play in the steering (Holding the front wheel still, can you move the handlebars?) - If so, this could be the forks, loose yolk, etc.

    At last! Anyhoo back on topic - The Snugbury's Straw Sculpture has not been built yet (had an email from them). A picture of the Ice Cream Shop will suffice until the new structure is built. If you wish to check progress, check out their facebook page.
