Greetings,


Thanks to every one who came last night, a quiet meeting due to illness including me. Our next book is ?For Whom The Bell Tolls? by Ernest Hemingway.

I haven?t got a date for next month but will let you know asap.


For those of you who are booked on the radio four book club can you please confirm that you are coming, great if you can but fine if you can?t but please let me know. (except Sheila who has) It?s on the 18th January and we need to be at Broadcasting House for 5.15pm. You also need to think of two questions to ask and send them to me soon.

Dear book group,


I have had a look at "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and it's over 500 pages so I sugest we do "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. We can do

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" another time.

Our next meeting will be February 14th in the Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake room.


For those of you coming to the BBC on Thursday please can I have your two questions?


And we have to be at Broadcasting House at 5.00pm. We will be fineshed by 7.00pm and then there is the Korean restaraunt if you like. It's very reasonable and the food is superb.


A big welcome to Jacqueline!


All the best


Chick.

Thanks to everyone who came to our meeting last night despite the ghastly weather. A very interesting discussion. Our next meeting is on March 14th in the Blake Room at the Clockhouse.


Our next book is The Snowman by Jo Nesb?. It's also the next Radio four book club which is on the 5th of April.

    • If 85% of car drivers are regularly breaking the law and think they are above it - then it suggests they aren’t being caught and fined doesn’t it? 
    • But we are talking about the cyclists are we not? Did you also notice the very same pedestrian walks across the pedestrian crossing and what happens...the cyclist cycling up the wrong way of the cycle lane doesn't stop at the pedestrian crossing....   Perhaps you would like to try and find fault with the pedestrians in the other video....or are you refusing to watch that one too...time to take the blinkers off perhaps... Well if they get caught speeding they get fined...you can kill someone when youre riding a bike and claim the speed limit doesn't count for you and you can't be charged with causing death by dangerous cycling. Is that perfectly acceptable in your world?   As I have said for a long time the daily repeated examples of.bad cycling everyone can see must be down to arrogance or ignorance...which one is it? Police are starting to have to more aggressively police cycling not because they want to but because they have to..why..because cyclist behaviour is getting worse.
    • It starts with pedestrian walking down the middle of a cycle lane. So what do you think should happen to the 90% odd car drivers that break the law and think they are above it?
