Regarding todays show, there was some interesting topics;
1. Did anyone hear the bit about that (Suffolk?) Farmer diversifying, and selling mobile gallows to other countries?
2. Also the Lido question, they are some beautiful pieces of architecture in lovley locations like the Jubilee Pool at Penzance
It was me who provided the link he read out;
www.lidos.org.uk
3. Tractors on country roads yesterday. Should they pull over?
All the transplanted Townies said "Yes!, oh & while you're at it, here's a Noise Abatement Order on your Cows mooing" :lol:
Scarily, not too far from the truth

yes he should sell gallows (although he didnt sell him self very well)
tractors should flick the v's at townies, coz anyone who lives in the country knows the tractor drivers are only doing there jobs and would drive faster if they could.
(bloody townies, they complain about the smell of sh*t in the country as well, what do they expect) :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

I thought any vechicle had to pull over if it was holding traffic up.
I can remember a story some time ago on countryfile about a farmer (think it was in summerset) who was find £400 after someone complained about him holding up traffic when on the road in his combine.

Out here in rural Shropshire "townies" (west midlanders generally) think we are a theme park. Ruddy faces, an apple, cheese and bread for lunch..... It makes me sick, folks round here are in general damned hard working and would do just about anything for you if they could.
As regards tractors, the lads round here have a "rule" where if you get to four vehicles queueing behind you, you pull over (if possible). Works really well without a law being placed or a statute being deployed :)

Unless it's a B*W, then it can stay there :x

I had to a few times on sunday, on the last liason of YRBC (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=23212) after the wheel bearing failure. Also needed to when towing the racer home.
With the speed the Moo was approaching on stage 9 it seemed like a good idea to pull over before he pushed me out of the way :lol:

Some tractor drivers on the road are terrible, like some 4x4 drivers on green lanes, however like the rest of the 4x4 drivers, most tractor drivers are a lot better.
IIRC there is a law that states you (regardless of what your driving) have to pull over if there is a que of more than 12 cars behind you.
On the hole most drivers are increabibly impatient and are a laught to watch as they display there atrocious over taking skills.

I have the same thing i my truck 40mph for me on single carrigdeway and if someone is stuck behind me i will signal them when its safe to pass. But if they are up my rear and/or in a b*w than they can sit there all day as far as i am cincered. As if you drive 3 foot behind a truck you cannot see around it unless you go over the centre line. And i always hold back from tractors and wait for them to pull over and then give a quick blast on the horn and a nice wave to thank them. It takes a lot longer for a 60foot 44ton truck to pass a tractor than you may think

i think the issue that many have with the gallows man is that he is selling execution tools to countries with very poor human rights records, but then again the government sell them guns and jets anyway

That's what I thought.
One rule for big business & the Government (who grant export licences) & a nother for the 'little man'
As for todays with the story of the Afgahns who hi-jacked that Jet a few years ago
The Message Board (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio2/F2142824?thread=2940123) is alive.
Nice to see Shami Chakrabati admitted she was thought of as 'that awful whinging women from Liberty'
