Prestwick now has gone down to one bank...and that is the TSB...owned by a Spanish company and having computer problems...

we're on to last minute organizing and shopping,for Saturday...people start arriving tomorrow....now I remember why I don't organize cycling events or even be officially involved any longer.

They work well,work hard and keep a clean site.

my builder

Please note-

you may think you're being helpful, when you lay a concrete floor in a potter's workshop........
and decide, against the request, to put a rough surface on it, "so that you don't slip and fall"......

the floor had to be painted anyway, so it is just as slippery.

I just curse your "helpfulness" a little every time I have to clean the darn thing!!

I just didn't have the time or the heart to get you to put a smooth surface on it!

You're a very good builder and you do try hard to please :-)
