Stunning. Apple and flint with a lovely biscuity aftertaste.

I bought these two years ago for £25. The price in the subject title is for the 2005 being sold now by Majestic.

Best PF i've ever had.

You've got a car......I had visions of you going up and down the M4 on a moped and going around town on 1970's Chopper bike.

Well you're a few years out but on the right track. The chopper in the mid 60's was a hand built Dutch racing bike with top quality Italian and German fittings. Put my own bike in part-exchange and paid a further £40 for it (second hand) in 1964. My moped was a red 650 Norton Dominator a few years later which was destined to lose a fight with a bus-stop.

Ha ha - a million miles away from sipping Le Baron.

Ok - I restored a hand built Freddie Grub with a small frame in 64, the only part I kept was the frame - Campagnolo were recently invented, so I fitted the 5 speed single glanger.
Then I had the Zundap Werke 175 in 66 (a weird German bike based on WW11 design) on a provisional, then an ancient 50's AJS 500 single pot, that nearly broke my ankle when the ingnition was not advanced enough and it back fired on kick start. Then a Ford Thames van when I ran the disco in 68-70. After that I got college'd out, got qualified, cut my hair, got married, bought a sensible Morris 1100 frnt wheel drive. ..............Redux my youth, when the kids graduated and upped sticks, a grandson arrived .........the rest is history.

That's it ....TMI
