Now for some strange reason we in the U.K. have an utter obsession with cookery programs, and this is getting so bad, nearly the whole of Saturday morning television on the B.B.C is dedicated to it , as well as several other various slots during the week .
Heading one such program is a couple of guys entitled - The Hairy Bikers , who both come from my part of the world , are hairy , cook , and supposedly ride bikes .
Now I say supposedly , because of a tale relayed to me as regarding this pair attending a motorcycle rally recently, and after being asked to judge one of the bike shows they actually had the audacity to ask for money to do it !!!.
Real bikers do not do this sort of thing as a rule , so they were both consequently told where to go in no uncertain terms…………………….. .
Now with this in mind , I’m just wondering if its Bear Grylls syndrome at work here , in which he pretends to live in the wilderness/ jungle / desert but stays in a five star hotel , but applied to this pair as regarding bikes ???.
The Hairy B’s - being in my opinion , a very poor facsimile of the genuine article, and this just happens to be a pair of elderly ladies , who used to ride around on a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle and sidecar , whilst cooking food for all and sundry and this was entitled - Two Fat Ladies .

Like the program itself , even the title of this is charming , and the politically correct have no place here , as these two were real characters …
………….although - don’t mention the hare coursing :)
I liken this kind of spirit to the last surviving First World War veteran who said his own longevity was down to ……
……………drink and women ………
……….probably like the two fat ladies ...
…….marvellous ………:)
