I have just posted off RCN 111, I hope you enjoy the new issue Chris has done a stirling job once again. I look forward to receiving your renewals, sorry about the price increase but I am afraid you must complain to the Post Office. Don't forget a subscription for a friend makes a good Christmas present or even a single issue to whet their appetite! Chris and I want some ideas of how to boost our circulation, you know it is a good read but some people still don't know it exists. Please let us have your ideas on the subject. Happy Christmas Jean

thanks to you both for all the work - it is appreciated

Hi Jean,
They just seem to get better and better, so this one should be great!
I just advertised it on my Facebook Group ( Bubbles, Micros and Scoots ) that has 138 members, may get a couple of new subs :)

Thanks for that Joanathan, that's the sort of publicity it is nice to get. I get any results I will let you know. Jean

Dear Readers
I know I am the editor but I received my copy in the post this morning just like everybody else. And what an excellent edition it is if I say so my self.
I hope you manage to find time to read it today.

Coo, in one day, that was quick. The fairies must have used some magic. ;D

Dear Rob
I heard from a reader in Norther Irland who received their copy this morning as well. Eastbourne must be on a go slow.

Not received mine jet but cant wait.
-
Chris,
I've just remembered that Jean sends out the overseas copies first.
You must have received yours early because she thought you were a-broad person.
SORRY! Happy Christmas. Rob.

Eastbourne will be delivery by Zimmer frame.
-
nothing here yet :)

Dear Richard
It is interesting to see who gets their copies first (Surrey and Northern Irland). Normally it is Germany and Scotland who get their copies first. All of the magazines all leave at the same time from the same post office, so the difference in delivery time seems to be down to the local post distribution. between Headcorn and where you are.
I regularly have a problem with post too and from Swindon. That sorting office seems to be particularly slow.
Lets hope Royal Mail get RCN to you all by the weekend.

Eastbourne used to be called Geriatric on Sea. Not any more now the older folk are rushing about with 3 or 4 wheeled shopping bag trolley's with seats on. They go by my place leaning forwards as the trolley seems to have a mind of its own with the owner trying to catch it up to have a sit down. The more sporty types have scooters that seem to have non existent braking systems as there are many flat feet and legs of the local populace by being run over. It certainly cheers up the place. ;D

Dear Rob
And next door to Eastbourne is Bexhill. The only place I know where they have double decker hearses.

Oxford and Reading are phasing out in favour of Swindon which due to its position is a hub. I think this was partly because the other two offices became staffed with the unionised radicals that helped kill British Leyland off. The PO thus killed two birds with one stone by cutting them back pronto. Swindon now has to cope with a huge quantity of post and I expect is struggling to do so.
From a driving point of view the area round here is infested with errant PO trucks some of which seem slightly kamikaze about their driving and are a disincentive to drive small cars about.

Have they put a ramp up at Beachy Head yet so these scooters can get good air?
Funny you should mention Hearses as Trever Lowis lives in Polegate now and he has been known to drive them.

Got my issue today, What a belter!! The magazine goes from strength to strength. In the past I have urged Chris to at least own a microcar even if he didnt want to drive one but now I have changed my mind, we dont want anything including microcar ownership distracting him his sterling work on RCN! Just two questions Chris, Maurice Rogers piece on Goggo's ends in the words "So I hope to adorn the next issue with an im." Just wondered what an "im" was? :D. Could it be a shortened Hillman Imp? Secondly in all seriousness I was interested in the white sporty little car named in the caption as a Liege, nestled behind the Reliant regal mkV on page 27. What I can see doesnt look familiar, can you enlighten us please. Well done again Chris, the down side is I'm reading the mag whilst I'm meant to be working! You'l have me in the work house!
-
Dear Bob
I am impressed that you do read every word. Glad you enjoyed it
I can see what happened. I positioned the photo up too high and lopped off the last line of Maurice's article, which should say
.... image more splendid than this.
I do hope your boss does not repremand you for reading at work. However I though your workshop was called the work house.
The Liege is a Reliant kitten based Kit car that is no longer made but has a good following. It is styled on a Dellow Trials car. A nice little car.

There are a couple of them nearby one of which goes trialling. He has broken several major components and I believe has changed the rear axle for Ford Anglia Van? The other one is used in the summer for a blast. Quite expensive little chaps, especially in Reliant terms.
I found my CC Zero stuff the other day as well as some other misc manuals and data, like Tri Tech. Do you remember the Cypher Reliant based sports car. The car that Reliant should have made rather than the ill styled Scimiter series which dated very badly. Meanwhile the Cypher looks as fresh as ever. Chumps.
-
As I'm a fan of the Dellow I should know this car but I dont. Who will post a picture for me?
-
What a pretty little car! I may have to buy one!
-
Great issue, thanks to all involved. Nice to know Alan Budd has at last found a starter motor for his Petite.
Yes I too noticed "im".
"age more splendid than this" might be a good motto for RCN!
-
recieved tonight and it looks a great read thanks all those involved :)
-
Recieved it nthis morning. It said Jonathan Poll on the front, but since I was at school my dad couldn't help opening it himself and having a great read ;) I will have a proper read tonight, had a quick flick through, loooks great!
-
received today, and once again a gorgeous issue.
Thank you for that !

Still nothing in Oxfordshire. :(

Your Postie is a nice chap, isn't he? You will be receiving a replica copy later with fit your own staple kit once I have resurrected the Gestetner (dyslexic has no chance with that one! A guess)

Mine was waiting for me at home yesterday. Thanks!
-
Arrived today, joy of joys. ;D Now to read....
-
^ Hooray, Civilisation reaches Oxfordshire at last.
Just kidding, lovely place!
-
Great read. Received my copy today as I was getting my Christmas dinner ready. Same meal as last year! ;D

Yuk, it will be rotten by now!
Now in best Franglais: allez manger your manger (go and eat your feeder)!

Civilisation reaches Oxfordshire. Port favoured baked beans on brioche for Chrimbo lunch and a good read in trap two of the outside arrangements is what we carrot crunchers really look forward to these days, oh arr.
Actually Chrimbo day might be a good day to let Black Bazzer loose on the roads as they will be empty. Nothing like a mouthful of the 2T petrol cocktail 'The Smoker' sucked from the filtered dispenser to give you an appetite for a meal.
-
PORT flavoured baked beans in Oxon? Scrumpy more like!
Brioche in Oxon? Mangle-Wurzel more like!
Plus Reddy Brek from Harwell and Aldermaston to make you glow in the dark.
Oi do hear they be thinkin' o' introducin' those new-fangled Dog Carts to speed up the Postal Service too, but that'll never catch on!

No, we do be a beer county not zider. Oxford woz a centre of eslanze for brewing 'for times. They colleges were big 'n the port trade, back a'longa, 'n'all.
Ah, they wozbirds of 'Arrwell, ewe'nen gottem.
We got 'osses a'plenty but nardle a cart. 'Sides that Root be cross Isis an' they is weird yonder. (Isis is local, and correct, name for Thames above Oxford. The Thame heads north from Oxford - the confluence of the Thame Isis)
