    Anybody else see Red Arrows over Staincross this lunchtime? I'd just pulled up at bus stop on New Road top of Broadway, saw 5 in formation come from the left probably Haigh, West Bretton direction and carried on over towards Royston direction, followed about 4 or 5 seconds later by another formation of probably 6 so i reckon that would be the display team and 2 spares. I checked up and they are at Cosford this weekend so why they were up here anybody any ideas. They were very low as well.

    To paraphrase Eric Morecambe, "they won't buy much going at that speed"

    I don't think Asda have anywhere for them to park, i doubt they'd want a 60 pound fine for parking in the disabled bay.

    Aslong as he doesn't leave his engine idling, that's another fine!
