Ow really? Gosh, surprized to hear that. I read BBC world news on my iphone during breakfast and their items can be emailed or twittered on etc. So I emailed myself the link and posted the link.

Meanwhile Malcom has posted adapted version.

One thing that always annoys me is BBC I player, I would like to see sth. on the laptop and next it says: only avail in UK.

It is expensive attire, but then again, could well be life or injury saving.

That's what I thought, gosh the cost... plus I have summer leathers and winter gear and not really need to replace these, they're in good nick. Future health and safety regulations could one day play a part, by that time prices might have come down a little?!?!!
