The end of summer?



Well, its started to rain again in Leyland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyland
I fear Summer has finally once again given way to the incessant raining that is the North West's climate. Apparently New York City receives more rain than Leyland and also bizarrely Rome has about the same. That really doesn't explain why the trails are turning to mud again. I can't imagine they sell many Panaracer Trailraker's in Western Italy, especially this time of year.

Anyway, Leyland rocks apparently and I'll tell you why. How can any town that produced the Austin Maxi, Morris Marina, Allegro, Montego and Princess ever be derided as not being a bastion of British manufacturing? In reality though, Leyland did produce some genuinely great cars, buses and trucks: Land Rover, the Mini, the MG Midget all hailed the company from this small Lancashire town. So, lets forget about the rain and repeat after me'; "Leyland, rocks!"
