    Name one. Just one champion whose diet has involved Eccles cakes as a major constituent.

    Indurain. I was having a chat with him just the other day and he told me his secret dietary habits which are:

    Breakfast
    1 egg on eccles cake

    lunch
    eccles cakes

    tea
    cakes d'eccles

    supper
    cup of tea and an eccles cakes.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Me :D

    Forgive me for asking, but what with MPs claiming expenses for non-work related outgoings and cyclists being caught with smuggled South American steaks I am going to have to ask you for your palmares...

    Oh OK then, fair enough. I withdraw my objection, it truly is Fuel For Champions.

    Cleat's correct.

    Before Spanish steak became so popular it was Eccles cakes that fuelled the peloton.

    Indurain often celebrated with one in his hand as he crossed the finish line.

    If we are going for the England's finest how about a nice bit of crumpet or a Bakewell Tart?

    excellent attack redhog, sidetrack every one with cake and then sneak through on the inside, chapeau young man. I'll have word with your DS and make sure he puts a massive eccles cake in your nose bag.

    So why do I get sooooo annoyed when, having passed through the ticket check at my local station, as soon as I sit down and get comfy on the train the on board guy asks to see my fn ticket!! :twisted: :evil: :x I know he's only doing his job but can he not do it somewhere else.

    I need an eccles cake to calm my nerves.

    What do you think you're doing, kicking for the line this early? I think you want the Rants thread, sonny.

    I was accused of attempting to poison a mate of mine, I bought him lemon drizzle cake at the cafe, last Sunday.
    I like lemon drizzle cake.
