That's a damn shame, how often to world class athletes, I mean, the
best at that discipline, come to Ashford? It's a great big travelling
circus, that will almost certainly never in our lifetimes come through
your home town again. And all people can say is "tut, 'spose it means
I can't get to Tesco then". FFS!

and for the crowds watching.... there won't be any
because they can't get here as all the roads are closed.

Oh they will, they reckon 1 million people went to see the TdF last
time it came to the UK. They'll get there before the road closes,
or come by train. They'll be there.

....... going to lie down now.......

Fair enough.
