TONNA 2010

EWROTICA

(Or – there is something missing rally)

There was something missing this year, we had it 4 years ago, but not this year. There was something strange going on in

them there valleys. What was it? What was wrong? When you realised what it was you felt grateful at C7’s lack of organising

skills. For once they forgot to order the rain!!! No plastic ducks in the playing field this time round, just fantastic weather.

You can really see the strength of that sun lighting up every imperfection, crease, and fold,

in the stitching on his jacket!

The sun even shon when we visited another English castle in Wales – with the resident army. However, having good

weather was not the only strange thing that happened at the rally. For those of you who do not know, a lot of Dr Who

filming takes place in Wales and when we arrived back from the ride we were really impressed when we thought that the Dr

had come for a visit and parked his TARDIS in the Scrumpies Dome.

We then realised that it was not Dr Who. The Welsh had given us a gift of a miner’s cottage. We knew it was a miners

cottage because there was a little miner still inside – they breed them small in Wales so they can fit down the pits.

The miner allowed the Scrumpies to have sole use of his facilities so at no time was a Scrumpy caught short.

When the sun goes down strange things happen in Wales.

There is a new game in Scrumpy town – it’s called ‘Spot the Scrumpy Tart’.

Can you spot the Scrumpy Tart???

The locals were very taken with the Scrumpy tart. I think that they are getting a little fed up with sheep.

The Scrumpy tart was most obliging although I feel that the tartness was a little tall for the Welsh wearing those heals.

There were a couple of Scrumpy birthdays at Tonna – Alli for one and then there was Pete. I can’t remember how old Pete

said he was -so for now we will just say 67. It’s great for a man of his age to take advantage of the Scrumpy Tart.

It’s lucky however that The Scrumpies have a harsh task master to keep the Scrumpy Tart in control – especially in

company:

Mind you – the Welsh have their own problems:

No – not the bloke in pink – it’s the old sod in the background who sneaked in for a drink. I jest – the old bloke is Goldwing

Dai. However, he has changed sides and is now known as Goldwing David. He has grasped his real heritage and has

showed his support by decorating his bike:

Just look at all those English flags.

I finish this write up with the most frightening words I have ever heard from a Scrumpy –

And I quote:

 be afraid, be very afraid.

Take care and ride safe
