I thought that I sensed a disturbance in The Force, I'm in Scarborough.

I've been to scarborough a few times and I've never understood the appeal. It must have been magnificent in the Victorian era but it seems to have nothing going for it now.
I did buy a mini cooper there about 12 years ago for a grand and it was good fun racing that and the metro advantage all the way home again with a mate.

Surfing is decent at Cayton Bay, lots of opportunities to jump off cliffs into the sea then get back out and do it again at Thornwick Bay.

It's certainly continuing to degenerate. There's still some good bits though. The mechanics alone of one of these cost over 400k to recondition.

New scooter gloves have arrived. I was using the boy's as they are the same but he's started stashing the fuckers. Real leather and very good quality for the price. Free inner gloves too.

Anyone know the difference when a bike tyre has B rather than R before the rim size?

My tractor has 130/70B18 and 180/70B16 tyres. One place I've asked lists these separately to 130/70R18 and 180/70R16 but the rest don't.

Does it matter? Google is refusing to tell me, I can find out about every other marking on the tyre except that one.

I think R is for tyres that go around Right hand bends but B puzzles me. It might be the Greek letter R, for right.
