RIP Dickie Davies, for most of us of a certain age he was the voice associated with pretty much any sport which you could watch on a Saturday.

 

Scrambling (as it was back then), bike racing, athletics, rowing, skiing, and many more, and of-course the wrestling.

 

He was even judged worthy of being sent up by the wonderful Benny Hill.

Unfortunately that didn't happen but I did take up moto-x as soon as I could afford to do so and spent a number of years travelling around and competing in off-road events.

Thousands of ambulance workers are staging a new strike on Monday in a long-running dispute over...

I’m all for fair pay etc but my own feeling is this level of disruption is taking things too far. 

[coppice cutter]

It's a tricky one.

 

Do you then get to a position where those less crucial to everyday life can strike but those most valuable can't and therefore end up the worst off?

 

I really don't know what the answer is. 🤔
