Come on Capri, read the post. Lara is in Dunfermline, Scotland.
Poor lady posts and thenevryone jumps on it so much it loses it's original reason.

Sorry Lara, i'm in the Midlands. Do you see many other Rover Sportsters up there (Vits, Ti's etc...)?

the reason there are none there is cos there are hundreds in my town. Witney. All the boy racer types round here drive them as they are now affordable to them. Shame really.

Hi Lara, I'm down the Pick and Shovel quite a bit but don't really go into Ponty itself. Love it down the Pick though, really great pub. Probably going down there tonight, actually! I'm at uni and living in Treforest, about a minute from the Pick! :)
