HopscotchFree Member
Just bought a van so i’m not scuffying up the leather seats in the estate but want to tint the back windows and i’m sure theres things on the market such as film etc that I can apply myself, can you advise?
Where do you get Limo tint from?
Also as the back is open to the front i’ll have to put up a curtain blind for the front window, does anyone else have any other suggestions?
Luckily the sides have wooden panals, however the roof doesnt, does anyone have any ideas on how to insulate the roof area? Perhaps, cut a MDF board to the size of the roof and use self tapping screws into the C sections?
Thanks, S.
HopscotchFree MemberThis was taken in Otley a few months ago, so its up to date. I would be grateful of any information please.
HopscotchFree MemberCheck this out:

If you dont have a receipt ask the distributor to send you an email validating the purchase. If its a custom build i suspect you have lots of photos too, whilst you remember (if like me you had alot of your parts imported) write down where you got them from on the back of the photo, if you want to rebuild the same bike.
Be mindful when abroad certain insurances only cover the bikes for 45days (limited period of time).
HopscotchFree MemberCHAI its sweet, milkie and drank from a glass is best, you can buy tea bags from Twinings if you dont have the priviledge of drinking it freshly made.
Mint Tea Moroccan stylee and if all that fails a good Yorkshire Tea (picked in Indian blended in Harrogate). Or for a more smokey Lapsang Souchong, quoted from, but If you cant pronounce it dont drink it!
HopscotchFree MemberI have a sweet kayaking helmet I must say its great for a pea head like me, I’d like to think these could be used for both sports for the price?
HopscotchFree MemberI was going to suggest Eagles its near Betws-Y-Coed and accepts groups of loud kayakers so you wont have a problem, its nice too.
HopscotchFree MemberI’ve done parts of the route, do it, i suspect you’ll see more traffic in the south of this WY. Ps thanks for the link to Wakefiled council i was looking for some routes around Wakefield. Anyone know any from Calderpark theres some rural areas near Sandal…? 😉
HopscotchFree MemberI don’t think you’ll ever see an Italians wearing them they have sence! A These are ll wrong, and so are UGG boats-although not a sandal they still look simple and scruffy and eco made from recycled waste…like!
Wide enough for a gruffolos foot though
HopscotchFree MemberI will try cleaning the bottom bracket as suggested, thanks.
There’s no need for rolled up jeans when cycling in a skirt is perfectly acceptable- pockets too for iphones on days when the over priced satchel doesn’t match the skirt! Try it!
HopscotchFree MemberInterested for once I’m speechless. Personally Its easy ‘ be respectful and sensitive and don’t alienate’ enough said. Thanks.
HopscotchFree MemberLack of understanding here. Sprocket? How can you tell the chain is twisted? If it is twisted, kinked etc how can it be fixed?
Many thanks for your responces so far.
HopscotchFree MemberTheres Calverley Woods, Fulneck Settlement, Theres also a few sections near Woodhouse Grammer School, if you cross over the road at Woodhouse Grammer and go up past Stansfields Arms, on the left you’ll see a cycle way/walk way, thers some nice routes around there. If all else fails you could ride to Liverpool on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. From Pudsey you could cycle to Skipton/Keighley and on the way drop down into Calverley Woods and or Thackley Woods. Enjoy!
HopscotchFree MemberSo it is, can anyone suggest any MTB or road biking sections near the CA8 (Brampton) side of Hadrians Wall please?
HopscotchFree MemberImmigration has done many good things for the UK, albeit bad too but I think we need to be thankful the new Government has decided to control the system.
HopscotchFree MemberSustrans 72, thanks. What are ice tyres? I have some very good 4 season tyres on my two road bikes and very big nobbly ones on my MTB 😆 i still haven’t got the nack of the whole bike lingo yet as you might be able to tell. Road or MTB what do you suggest to do this in December?
HopscotchFree MemberSo, is it rideable at the moment?
Where is up that way?
Is there a campsite open?HopscotchFree MemberSiblings are from the same womb but they argue. I wouldn’t consider it as racism, religion is being disputed about by even the most intelligent historians and scientists of today and still after years of hi-tech research and debate they still can’t get it right or find the evidence, I wouldn’t call that racism.
I suspect Somalis and Arabs are disagreeing on the finer points of Islam which yes I agree happens allot, but don’t we do that with things we are passionate about, I’ve argued the grade of a rapid, the gears on a bike before..
I’ve come to realise that the only way we can get on in this society is to understand where the other person albeit difference colour call it black blue pick what you like is coming from, we have to make the efforts to understand them, don’t misunderstand them and get it wrong that’s the worse thing we can do as that then upsets them and they feel targeted by you.
If need be read a book. It will make things much clearer for us who struggle with the cultural divide as such…what you think?
Also I’m not denying Indonesia has largest Muslim population, when I was in SA i was told black people don’t like to be referred as being black, sub divide people if you like yeah, but get it right. That’s a whole new topics lets not overload!
HopscotchFree MemberHow do you quote on this thingy…..
The facts are most foreigners that came to the UK had to start from scratch, there was no inheritance, no helping hand and no ancestors to help the kick start just wasn’t there, third generation Asians now will be better off. However second generation Asians/Afro-Caribbean etc that came over to the UK worked hard and did well, others just didn’t understand the system and may of possibly been from a more rural environment back home and the picking of tea is just not a skill we need here, therefore they may have been pushed towards educating themselves to get a half decent job, how does one do that with no money! Kids are then forced to do crime. We could then go into the prison system in the UK, three hot meals a day bonus!
HopscotchFree MemberJonR said:-members of the Muslim community in the UK are far more likely to be racist, faithist and homophobic but the moment you point it out you feel like you have committed a faux paux because you have pointed out a fault of a group of people who are almost exclusivly not white and the stigma of racism is a bad one. Its amazing how badly black Muslims are treated by asian muslims for example.
That’s a very broad statement…. very general. A true Muslim would be accepting of any faith, homophobia isn’t a faith, its a way of life which i wouldn’t associate with religion. However regardless it shouldn’t be abused and a true Muslim wouldn’t do that, if you read into Islam you will see the title of the religion means peace and anyone undergoing that faith signs up to a peaceful way of life, Muslims can marry Christian women, Jewish women and accept all colours and creed, equally I had to laugh when I read your statement about blacks being treated badly by Asian Muslim, most Muslims in other countries are from Afrian decent, id say they were what you’d call black…
Secondly Black people, whats a black person, i don’t see any black people in the UK, i see people or different colours yes but not black or white. English and Asian yes, so when you say black people are treated badly by Asian people could we then say black people are treated badly by you because you call them black when clearly they are brown…. the saga goes on. Its petty I know.
Interesting, I feel we possibly misunderstand people of different cultures.
We have to live together regardless, however we should be able to maintain our OWN affiliation with our OWN cultures and make that clear to others without being labelled or judged. Equally we should embrace others cultures.
Some may not like this but the facts are that the UK established itself many years ago through working (this can be interpreted of course) with India, can we ever go back to a independently English UK , do we remember what it was like, if we was to take the foreigners out of the UK would be have such a colourful mix of foods, restaurants…? I find we spend more time on thinking we are different, oh we cant talk to him because he is Muslim or her because she wears a head scarf, i feel we are blinded to what is actually lies beneath we are all people nevertheless we just come in different boxes, we forget that most of the laws and rules we live by today are due to the principles of religion should we not be proud of the civilised society we live in?
We can live in a multicultural society what am i saying we have no choice, why not just educate ourselves talk to them and learn to get on with them?
HopscotchFree MemberGood river around there for grade 3 ww kayaking if you want it.
HopscotchFree MemberThings id never buy online, mostly anything over 200+ and a bracket that falls within perfume,kayaks, jewellery, bikes, cars, fresh food, gifts, furniture.
In ten years on prediction, I think economics thus income and hours spent working v time, will have a lot to do with it. Its also sometimes cheaper to buy online because theres not many resources to cover it, its also quicker but only if you know what your buying.
In essence someone is always going to be less knowledgeable on certain trades and will most likely need assistance in their purchase if its means enough to them.
You’ will get others who don’t appear bothered about what they buy and will possibly make mistakes in their purchase and will therefore after a long period time want to seek advice or maybe try before you buy which would possible become favourable in the end. Ultimately I don’t think the retail industry will disappear completely in ten years.HopscotchFree MemberPstokes99- do you mean towards East Keswick? or go through the main entrance of Harewood House itself.
Thanks for suggestions so far.
HopscotchFree MemberNot sure really, we'll be coming from Collingham/Boston Spa direction, so maybe the main entrance?
HopscotchFree MemberAny knowledge on parking, start, finish points would be great thank you.
