I’ve just been looking through some old b+w film photos I took a while back, before being seduced with the immediacy of digital. I really should start using film again.

Still available. If you don't want Forest Green I also have one in Traildust White although it has a few more miles (less than 50) on it. Same price. It's in my profile pic. We don't need the two so either one can go.

Whichever one goes it will come with original saddle and standard bag.
FOR SALE - the OH has decided to sell his electric G Line. He has the small Forest Green one and he has been out on it once for less than two miles. Ongoing problems with his knee force an end to any cycling ambitions for the foreseeable.

£3000 no offers, it is mint condition

Thousands of tonnes of toxic landfill liquid added to sewage and spread on English farms.

Chemicals going into food chain, water, waterways with deadly outcomes.

Corporations boost profits.

Oxford is to get a congestion charge of £5 per car per day, starting this autumn. Charges will be levied for driving past one of six camera sites. The decision, intended to accelerate bus services and encourage cycling/walking, was taken at an Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting this morning.

Reform UK voted against worker rights in parliament, favoured bad bosses.

Now it supports fracking which can cause earthquakes and negative environmental impacts.

Companies will make vast profits, people will pick up the tab. Many homes would be uninsurable. Who would buy affected houses?
Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms
The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

The IMF urges UK govt to end the pensions triple lock and charging for NHS treatment.

Condemning pensioners to poverty and denying healthcare to low/middle income families is part of the right wing agenda. How many will be killed by neoliberalism?

Anything to avoid taxing corporations & the rich.
Reeves should consider ending pension triple lock and charging for NHS treatment, says IMF

This photo of Cissbury hillfort dig © Sussex Archaeological Society is one of our favourite because:

a) it's from 1875
b) it has a scale and a broom in it
c) it shows a key stratigraphic relationship (Iron Age ditch cuts Neolithic flint mine)
d) there's a man in a pith helmet

The needle shaped menhir of La Pierre Longue de Sale Village in St-Georges-des-Sept-Voies (Maine-et-Loire) is 5.5m tall. In one tradition it was Gargantua’s whetstone which he lost when he bent over to empty sand from his boots. #StandingStoneSunday.

#StandingStoneSunday Grange Stone Circle, Lough Gur, Co. Limerick. Ireland’s largest stone circle at 46 m, it has 113 mostly limestone standing stones. The biggest, L in my 2022 photo, is 40 tons. Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic in age (ca. 3000-2500 BCE), but many of the stones were added in the 1870s.

It would cost around £16m and generate £3 in social, economic and tourism benefits for every £1 spent on it.

But somehow it is too expensive?!

Meanwhile £billions will be spent on low value road schemes.
