    Well if they overcharge and lose custom that won’t work, will it? It’s like any business – the right price is the marlet price – price customers are prepared to pay. It’s not complicated.

    It seems to be working well for the energy companies with price rises every few months 🙂

    Err….they already do……..ever since the penny post!

    haha 🙂 Wait until they put a ridiculous price on it. Pay or we don’t deliver. After all the royal mail works for share holders now 😉

    Sad to see the post office sold off. What a shame.
    Wonder when they will start charging us to deliver post.

    comet, sounds like you have the same sort of cyclists as we have here in Milton Keynes. They think they own the road and the redway (the redway is a pathway set out for both people walking and cyclists but cyclists think it’s just for them)
    I hate having to walk along the redway and have these people zoom past me at some speed. Some have the courtesy to use a bell when they are coming along, others just wiz by. The redway is wide enough for us both but they always feel they need to come in close proximity to me and who I’m walking with.

    I remember on a driving lesson back in 2006 when going up a very steep hill, the cyclist ahead of me decided that rather than pull over and let me go before the hill he would keep in front of me and struggle up the hill instead. If I remember right I went up that hill in first gear.

    hampden98, you can have a go at landing without any experience, doesn’t mean you can pull it off successfully though. The ‘landing’ can turn into a ‘crash’ so easily.

    Jim was that police unit on countryfile the other day?

    If only judges lived in the real world and passed proper, harsher sentences.

    Student pilot, that’s interesting. I thought they were a new thing.

    Jim, I can only imagine it must be an individual thing that goes through their minds; in 2008 when an aeroplane came head on towards the aeroplane I was flying, despite putting my aeroplane into a steep descent I was pretty certain that they were going to take off the tail section of my aeroplane as I descended so I remember maintaining the steep descent and in the back of my head I said goodbye to my family and carried on flying the aircraft. It was to my relief that after a few seconds I realised that they had passed over the top of us, just!

    This is only about 5 mins drive from my home in Beanhill. Been there before the restoration so it will be nice to go back sometime and see what it looks like now 🙂

    Sad news. I always felt it was inevitably going to happen at some point. Sad all the same. Looks like a fun sport, but as much as I love flying I don’t think I’ll be taking up wingsuit flying!

    Tragic news about the pilot. That is ever so sad to what was a really good outcome at first. 🙁

    I agree with Gary, they should be made to pay the lot off regardless of how ‘poor’ he may end up.
    It’s sick to go and drive over animals. Some people really are weird, dangerous and psychotic.
