But was out yesterday with "Random man" and the parrot run came steaming by while we were deliberating at a junction. There was 20-30 and I must say it was good to see, no way would I have held a wheel though.

    Tis a thing of legend - I still have no idea quite what it is, or why it is called so...

    And in truth, I have never seen it.

    I (THINK) it's because the club colours are yellow and green could be wrong.

    Good job I didn't swing round and decide to go the other way, the pile-up would have been horrendous :)

    I trust you've seen it then.

    It's no more "hideous" than a lot of club kits I've seen, god forbid.

    Looked it up. Disgusting.

    The kit I see about isn't too bad. Kit is the first thing I look at in a club though :lol:

    A regular Saturday morning sight, often followed by the air ambulance!
    Best spotting place is Lowdham.
    The first 40 miles or so, is alledgedly "Leisurely Pace". After that, may your god help you!
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.
