    Yep & I'm not giving up until they remove them. I've certainly got the hump. > There are now 1050 people on Facebook and I had a phone call from a chap who said what about all the people without internet access who wish to voice there concerns. I have asked the Wiltshire Times if they can put a section in on posting any comments to me at home and I will add to Facebook or e-mail the Shire's management.

    10 Downing Street. Can I put in an expense claim for another bike, a second home to keep it in and hire someone to clean it. ;D
    I could go for Mayor of Trovegas. Can you get ceremonial chain lube?

    Then as Major your 1st duty should be to ban all speed bumps & give bikers the freedom of Trowbridge [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Fill in the potholes, ban speed humps, bring back smoking in pubs, free beer vouchers for Trowbridge people and have roads on weekends just for bikes.

    I work for a pub company and the smoking ban was one big nail in the coffin. I agree that food led pubs should not allow smoking, but wet led it should be down to the lanlord/landlady.
    People bleated at the time that if they wanted to go out for a meal (probably only once a month) that they shouldn't be subjected to a smokey atmosphere. I agree. I smoke and I wouldn't want it when I was eating. It has killed the trade though in the traditional 'drinkers' pubs.
    Darren. If you read this. Has it affected your trade?

    Looks like they have agreed to some adjustments to the speed bumps, removed the one to the underground parking and reduced the size of the ones on the top level

    I still think they need to be got rid of or made wider so it's nit such a sharp bump-does that make sense? I went over them earlier and my suspension is already on it's way out so bouncing over those really isn't helping!I know there are other places to park in Trowbridge but I'm not a big fan of the multi story as I have trouble parking in there - no jokes about female drivers please :P
