    Got up this morning too blue sky so myself and Steve (SPS)
    Decided to head to Swindon to have a look at the clothing sale at what used to be George whites, not only did I find out that I was too fat for anything they had! The heavens opened not long after we left :( we got soaked and my poor bike got soaked and covered in crap.
    Was still a good ride there and back though

    Have you pulled over on the hard shoulder to take a picture of the rain? That's very irresponsible..

    If martin has pulled over under a bridge to try and make sure he can see if his lid is steamed up.

    I know I have done the same when in the kit car

    As for the mobile. why not use it to call the wife your going to be late and wet. martin may have just accidentally pressed the photo part on his mobile

    and if not, is it illegal to take a picture when on the hard shoulder?
