And another piece of wisdom - as soon as you have that first sip of beer, the weather will clear!
You can use it to your advantage sometimes. I was at Goodwood yesterday with Speedbird252, weather was great and there was a Robin available ... had to have a tactical pint to stop me going and borrowing it for an hour
that's my excuse anyway
BEX, just to make things worse i'm off to your airfield to go flying...
