So what have you done today..?

That's very kind and useful information Andy, thank you. Are you ex Police as I understand many of the observers are?

 

Wife said the same.

 

That may have been the case several years ago but the number of motorcycle traffic officers appears to be on a steep decline, certainly in the Thames Valley and North Hampshire, TVP have not supported the Bikesafe initiative for the last 3 years. I’m not ex police, I decided about 12 years ago, it was time I gave something back to the motorcycle community that had supported me for nearly 50 years and trained as a Local (affiliated club) Observer. I’ve been an IAM RS National Observer for nearly 2 years. Just for kicks, I’m also a Racesafe Track Marshall with the British Super Bikes Andy

 

Found a campsite right in the New Forest in amongst all the horses etc, it’s lovely.
Now having a pint.

 

And what a lovely pint Aspall is

 

Bloody should be for 6 and a half quid

 

Just been offered tickets to see the Darkness on their latest tour That’ll be a “no” from me Andy

 

Have you ever been to Sammy Millers in New Milton. Not far away from where you are and well worth a visit on the basis that "you come this way but once". It's a truly remarkable museum and Sammy in his 90's still works more than 5 days a week,

 

Have another one or two and I will stand them for you!

 

No sympathy; 7 and a half quid & up in town, £10 for a Guinness not unheard of.

 

I’m used to £4.50 where I live and that’s a rip

 

I'm serious!! You have happened upon the New Forest in perfect weather and you should be feeling great.

 

Yes I have, I was actually in New Milton earlier today and Milford on sea.
