Aww bless him what a complete KNOB!
It must be really exciting showing a group of cyclists how fast your car can go. [img]http://www.celebchefs.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/james%20martin%20portrait%202.jpeg[/img]

He has offered his "sincere" apologies :?

The cyclists affected should get in touch with CTC Legal (as CTC suggest) and take it up...or even the Police..

How often does this happen on the CR..grrrrrrr

I didn't know what craven meant, so I looked it up:

Lacking the least bit of courage, contemptibly faint-hearted.

I like it, good word Adrian, but to reference Toks' earlier comment, the definition is missing the word knobhead :wink:

I wonder whether JM's implication was a simile i.e. we all look as though we are wearing Spiderman costumes (spandax figure hugging) - personally I would prefer Superman but the cape might get tangled in the chain. :D

No you can't, as it's been edited to remove the bit about running the cyclists into the hedge (which was however probably made up)

"Daily Mail prints ludicrous article abusing a minority group."

In other news:

"Public convenience to close. No bears affected"

"Pope not Protestant after all." :roll: :roll: :roll:

His apology 'only' on BBC website? (Pretty wide circulation there). To me, it reads like the complete and frightened climbdown facesaving attempt of someone who knows he's been a complete and utter t*sser.
