In olden days a “Ladies Excuse Me” was apparently a dance in which women were allowed to grab a man and waltz off with him, ignoring the usual practice of waiting to be asked. It was a chance for them to take charge for a while.
So: Ladies, I`m open to offers.
On a serious note, Sunday the twenty fifth of May is by tradition the day Jetstream offers to lead a rideout to a destination of your choice.
So bearing in mind the strictures of a 10.00am departure from the Ace.
Post your name, destination and reasons for said destination below. (Only post if you are willing, able and up for a mystery rideout)
The final choice will involve shuffling any votes in a bucket and deciding if any are more valid than what I think up on Sunday morning.
Sadly I am in Nepal on Sunday, otherwise wild horses would not have kept me away from this (although I have been known to bring rain to your rides). You could lead a ride to Asia. Otherwise I reckon you should head up to Cromer ( via Carrow Road) some lovely north Norfolk lanes and marshes, with ice cream and seals at the end.
Everytime I hear the phrase “ladies excuse me” I think of Carry on again doctor, when Jim dale is chatting up babs winsdor, and she gets the hump, then the band leader says “and now for a general excuse me”, gets picked up by another fella and they go hoping around the dance floor…lol
Eric Rogers makes his second and final Carry on gag appearance as the Bandleader who intones the immortal line: “the next dance is a general excuse me”
Beat me to it, I will be at Lake Constance (Germany/Swiss border) and was going to suggest the Black Forest, Bludenz Mountains (Austria) and then tea at the In Laws or can you reach Stuttgart in under 40 minutes challenge.
