Just a reminder, I know there are lots of things going on this weekend for the Diamond Jubilee, but dont forget the annual T/Tees Run from Stockton to South Shields. Loads of nostalgia for those of us of a certain age. Regards Kev.

Ex retired Larry, I have just taken a full time job . As for the pratnav Larry I think I might manage without it. There’s nowhere to plug it in so I will just have to struggle. Ps I think the MGW 981L knows the way better than I do. Regards Kev, enjoy the party.
Well done Kev, Im sure you will enjoy being back to graft, Regards Larry.

No, we only cross Portrack Lane on the way to the A177. Why dont you come to the Riverside near the southside of the Barrage? 0900 onwards.
