Yep, I read it and there is stuff in there that was new . I was expecting roughly the same story that has been written before but obvioulsy written from someone else perspective. Very well written and congrats to the author and SDB again.

Also read the whole of true grip yesterday, and yet again top stuff guys.

cheers

Got mine yesterday as well

about 150ft across) (sorry I don't work in metric)'
I hate to think how old the author of that article must be

Coincidentally, given the circumference was quoted at the end of the article as being 408m, the radius was therefore 130m (to nearest m)

Well if you're gonna be fecking pedantic...........

The DIAMETER would be 130M.
The RADIUS would be 65M (162.5 ft)

Hang on a second, 65m is more than that in feet, I'd say closer to 213 feet in fact

(Robertio now re-reads post to check for the obvious mistake he is bound to have made, yet will undoubtable miss it anyway )

Oi, wot you trying to say

Actually I can do metres as 1 metre is about a yard, completely flummoxed by litres, kph, kilograms etc (unless I bother to convert them to imperial)

Have had no concept of how much I am paying for petrol or how much I am putting in the car since they made you pay by the litre .

Cheers

Cool

65m is actually 213.2ft according to JAA/CAA syllabus of using 1m = 3.28ft
