Could you also edit your post to remove the link please.

It will stop anyone else from clicking on it.

[Retired-Cyclist]

Not sure how to edit post to remove link?

It's too late now @Retired-Cyclist 

You only get an hour to edit.

I did report it to the mods too so someone will get round to it I'm sure.

It seems a long time since I've seen one online.

Requests to move threads or edit posts have been ignored (as far as I'm concerned)

Same here. I guess they've all gone due to covid....

[Cleoriff]

And yet here we are. They should give us the power to edit... lol

Yeah, I can just imagine you with that 😛
