    Like to think they’ve spent their time away on a tandem road trip together…but I’m guessing that’s fairly unlikely. Shame, would’ve been interesting to find out how they’d settled the captain/stoker question. 

     

    Sounds like you’ve banned them for a month!

    You could try going to Woking

    You could try going to Woking on the Railair link coach that drops you at Woking Station.

    It is 150 yards from a Travelodge.

    Woking also has direct trains to Exeter it certainly used to be cheaper from Woking to Exeter.

    Double standards, much?

    Pedestrians are under NO obligation to use pedestrian crossings or to even cross only  the green man is shown.

    It cannot be classed as jaywalking as the offence does not exist in the UK.

    Therefore it cannot be double standards.

    Highway Code Rule 56

    Highway Code Rule 56

    Dogs. Do not let a dog out on the road on its own. Keep it on a short lead when walking on the pavement, road or path shared with cyclists or horse riders.

     

    Seems fairly clear to me

    If I was the Marshal I would just stop traffic at the checkpoint. 2 minutes is all it would take. They had no problem doing this for pedestrians at Kingston. Why have Marshall if they don’t have the authority to close the road in a clear emergency?

     

    Precisely, more to the point why were plod being so spineless?

     

    It would perhaps help that when the organisers have investigated they actually published their findings publicly.
