Compo 10,326 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Plantfit #3812: Why is the rear light on the left hand side of the bike, I wonder. It should be on the right side for UK use, surely? Is it, perhaps, because of the gear cable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 We used to upend a clothes horse and cover it with a blanket (Our blankets in the 1950s were all ex-army surplus). This became our pretend tent on the lawn. We would have our dinner and tea in the tent before taking it down in the early evening. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
