Must admit on the face of it, it does look like I made the no refuelling part up, or dreamt it

I'm sure I read it somewhere - research required!! (Mrs Flash once 'heard' a story about two North East celebs having an affair - it became THE hot story (they were such an improbable couple), after a while I asked her where she got it from and eventually she worked out she'd dreamt it and it wasn't true - major embarassment!!! )
I can't stand the medal stuff either - but I'm not sure if it's just me being over conservative, can't think of a great argument against it, a lot of the competitions I raced in were run like that and I don't think it made much difference. I also think they make it a bit too easy to pass back markers, when I was racing round the better riders passed slower ones more easily, it was one of the differentiators.
Gutted you lot have bulbs showing and we don't - I'll have to look more closely, must be because I'm from oop North. Clematis are budding like crazy though.
