    What's you all's opinion of Bestaff?

    I had a Belstaff Trialmaster waxed cotton biking jacket many years ago when I was a regular motor bike commuter and it was the best thing since sliced bread. Really tough, waterproof and comfortable. I used it for about ten year and then my son stole it at wore it for at least another ten years...

    Gloucester Cheese Rolling!

    Off to my local big event in a minute, the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling in Gloucester UK. Many total idiots throw themselves down a very steep hill (1 in 1 near the top) chasing a cheese! Always entertaining! Here's a video from 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyQBSMeIhM Gareth

    Recommendation for Outdoors Hat

    Hard choice here! I have three Akubras and a Tilly. When it gets really hot (I'm in Britain and it doesn't need to get very hot for us to complain!) then I reach for the Tilly. Mostly for the better airflow through the holes. I get a very sweaty head with the Akubras, much as I love them. As...

    I need a pair of Breeks/Plus Twos/Plus Fours/Knickers?

    Wish I could find a pair of moleskin breeks in black for my morris kit! I have had a pair of cut down black jeans for years made by a seamstress friend that are getting a bit tatty these days! They seem to have shrunk a little since I got them years ago too... I love moleskin but they only seem...

    Ghostery is another excellent add-on that allows you to stop all the trackers. There are three on this page by the way, Facebook Connect, a social widget, Google Analytics, a tracker, and VigLink, an in text advertiser. Gareth

    Your family D DAY stories 70 years on...

    No stories from my late father. He was in the pacific on the carrier HMS Indefatigable so he missed it. He always said he was "Looking after the Yanks!" A suicide bomber hit his carrier and there were several dead. He narrowly missed the shrapnel while he was heading to the galley for some late...

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    It's a photo of a hand made Italian Castagnari Tommy melodeon, my pride and joy! Gets me out of the house several times a week as the musician for a local morris dance side, regular pub music sessions and even makes me money as I run and English Ceilidh/barn dance band... Gareth

    What musical instrument do you play..?

    The melodeon is my main instrument, the small button box you see in Irish music. I am the musician for a local morris side and also run a ceilidh/barn dance band playing mostly English country dance stuff. Pub folk sessions at least once a week. Just back from the Upton on Severn folk festival...
