Mourning our sad loss

Today is a very sad day.

I have just heard on the grapevine that the Welsh Assembly have just voted approval of the NERC act.

This now means that all former RUPPS (dash and dot lines on os maps) are now Restricted Byways, and you can't drive them. There are a lot of these in Wales, especially South Wales.

We have lost some classic lanes, The Gap road and Talybont to name a couple.

You can still drive Byways and UCRs, so my favourites, Strata Florida and the Wayfarer survive.

I knew we couldn't trust that Rhodri Morgan and his 'hair bear bunch' quiff. I think he should have the rough end of a pineapple shoved up his bottom. Evil or Very Mad

Yes sorry Gareth Embarassed The loss of the lanes is criminal. Evil or Very Mad

I think the easiest thing to do is just blame 'dodger' anyway as he is still living in Wales Very Happy
