Re: Wales roads
I remember the good old Pre Brexit (PB) days, when the EU paid for those fabulous roads in NW Scotland. Did they not do the same for Wales back in the day? Genuine question. Yes,.. there was and still is, great deprivation in areas of Wales. The Area 1 funding (I think it was called) provided a muc...

Re: Wales roads
I meant (sarcastically).. we won't get Any. The UK Tory government has been underfunding (polically) Welsh Labour Wales for years. I think last year it was by 175 million, but overall by billions. When UK Labour get in, even in coalition , they won't be able to fund Wales, or other regions, as they ...

Re: Justice my arse!!

The Richa waterproof boots came today .. Crikey.. so fast for delivery.. can't believe it. There are a perfect fit, I'm really glad to say. My old (not so old, just poor quality) boots were slippery.. especially when stopped, holding bike up on tarmac, But these Richa grip really well .. everywhere....
