A few facts worth knowing just for the sake of journalistic integrity.
1) I was not the only person to leave in a motorised vehicle, Martin Long, please stand up.
2) At no point did I say 'I'm off home now', that would have been flippant and inconsiderate. If I remember rightly I think my parting words were 'Blimey, this car is comfortable, and dry'.
3) When we passed you guys in the car as it was starting to rain really hard we did not laugh, point or attempt to run anyone off the road, a clear indication of a compassionate and sympathetic attitude.
4) While you were benefitting from the extra miles in the saddle I had to suffer the torture of a full roast dinner with all the trimmings (pavlova, cheese board etc. etc.). Just think, your weight loss is my weight gain, I will be carrying those Yorkshire Puds all the way up the Pyrenees.
So, you see, there are two sides to every story. It hurt me more than it hurt you.
