Amazing bicycle! I bought one. It has:

• NO chain (so no trouser clips)
• NO maintenance (no oil drips)
• 7 gears (not 3 or 33!)
• Twist grip gears (no levers)
• Style & simplicity (so cool!)
• A carrier, mudguards & stand

It is a fabulous bicycle - see it to believe it - and only £365.

Ledbury

We await anyone interested to supply us with information on the town to be put on this page.

Meanwhile, I received this email........

My name is John Whitney, and I live in California.  When a boy of 17
years old in 1948, I worked with a man in New York who was born
in or around Ledbury in 1871.  His name was William (Billy) Hicks,
and he migrated to the US around the turn of the century.  He used to
tell me stories of Ledbury when he was a young boy living there before
he came to the United States.  I remember two of his recitations about
Ledbury which may or may not be accurate.  The first is:

     It's Upton on Severn
     Ross upon Wye
     Ledbury on shit brook
     And that's no lie

The other, which I cannot remember completely had the following:

     In Ledbury town of Herefordshire
     They kicked up a row with the parson there
     . . .
     . . .
     Off to church did toddle the cook
     And in her arms the babe she took
     . . .
     . . .
     He ain't allowed to preach nor pray
     'Til seven long years has passed away


I am hoping that there is someone in or around Ledbury who could
send me the complete ditty about the parson and cook.

Thank You,

John Whitney
