Thank goodness no one is offended i was a biy hesitant writing that but i did and i got away with it  :-))

and mike as for your question of what i am into,well i love my sport as in football,cycling,snooker and so on,but for the last couple of years i have really got into old retro bikes especially raleigh back in the 70,s/80,s bikes. i don,t know if a few members here remember the grifter,and bomber,and burners and the list go,s on all raleigh bikes, well i have a grifter here which looks new and i love it,and when i do get a spare bit of time and doing the family bits,i love messing with bikes.

I had a few Raleigh bikes when I was a nipper... Budgie, Striker, Chopper and a Grifter, then a Record Sprint racing bike (bloody expensive)
All sadly long gone

thats all the bikes i am talking about,  the classic bikes of the 70,s/80,s and you had some very nice bikes essex,and your not joking on blinking expensive and they have held there value aswell,shame they have all long gone as i would have loved to have seen them and i am always on the look out for anyone who still has any bikes like this.
