Its like french mustard but the label is put on only half way up the jar rather than pulled up properly.

... I opted to take the blackbird as when i checked on Google maps it suggested 2 and a bit hours to get to the meeting point and that was on the motorway to. So i set off for 7:15 and got to the raven for about 8:30 oops don't think Google maps had taken into account a clear motorway and how easy ...

... was good to meet you yesterday and was good fun loved the roads and the company was excellent except for blade he kept showing me his arse all the way home which was enough to distract an old woman who drove straight into one of these http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/19/58/3195873_816a6c6a.jpg

... take at most an hour. I got there and they told me to leave the bike and pick it up the next day. I pointed out we had agreed a time and I had no way to get home "Get a bus then" was their helpful reply. I took the bike and haven't been back. I've heard mixed stories about them as well. ...
