    I saw this the other day, it's well funny - the commentary is good too

    ITV should get him in for the Tour, he's much better than Phil and Paul!

    Hi

    you are right, it is Norman Batey, was up at the cafe at Capheaton @ the weekend & one of the older lads up there reckoned it was him. Great video, I live round the corner from Wes Clayton's wife, i think i will pop round & ask if she has seen the video. {Wes died last year]
