    They said they wouldn't. They broke the promise on Dairy Milk within weeks. It was only a matter of time. Don't know why they don't just take bars of brown sugar, spray them with brown edible dye, and be done with it.

    The only "orrible Ives" I know is the character out of Porridge.

    Liked the photo of Pen y Fan and the waterfall. Never walked in the Brecons, though I've walked in the NW Highlands and the Lake and Peak District. Think I've told the story of being stuck up Crinkle Crags overnight in Cumbria while the Chernobyl radiation cloud was floating overhead further to the south.! Got close. :)

    Correct! The episode when the prisoners are let out to did ditches and Ives gets stung on his arse. Filmed on location in Penderyn. The Lamb was the pub Fletcher went to....not as nice as the Red Lion!

    I think I may have taken a certain female there a few times because it's kind of out of the way!

    Hee-hee, started watching the video and thought, this bloke's a bit of a misery guts. Loads of oh my god and other exclamations. Then he tells us his son's emigrating in 3 weeks. I know why.! Bet he's dying to get away.

    Just thought, hope this isn't your video.! <laugh>

    Anyway, yes I've been through that country on the bike. Wasn't quite that dry when I cam through though. In fact, it was tipping it down.
