    Not a chance - I sometimes forget what I'm eating between ordering and the waiter bringing it!

    Rotterdam to Hull ferry now booked. I'll be bringing Big Bertha along come rain or shine as I've had to put in the registration number on the booking form. So sorry guys you won't get to see my Burgervan this time around (I know you'll all be so disappointed ;))
    If this meeting is a success (which I'm sure it will be) then we could do something similar next year.

    ooh yes please :). Over here we can get nice fish and nice chips but not together. We used to have an english fish and chip shop in Amsterdam called 'Al's Plaice' which were really good, but I think he's gone now.
    A popular snack here is Kibbeling which are pieces of cod or haddock cooked in a lovely batter which is then dipped into Remoulade or Garlic sauce. It's super scrummy, but having chips too is not an option. Strange huh ??

    It was all to do with Archeology. My Dutch is non-existent sadly. But the Kibbeling with Garlic mayonnaise - just beautiful.

    Fantastic Dave. Glad you liked it. For those Brits who don't know what we're talking about see below.

    It's 39 miles from home to Hurdlow for this day tripper according to mr Michelin route planner, never clocked the mileage before.

    I don't mind leading an elite group for a rideout, anyone fit that description:rolleyes::).

    I usually ride around the area a couple of times a year with my carer but I will be on my own as the soft bugger works for a living during the week:):D
