Wouldn't be so sure of that

When I was about 14 I took a B40* home from Lisle St** to Tonbridge (30
miles) by public transport. 10 stone weaklings 'r us!

* The Navy equivalent to the AR88 - built for a battleship ... and looks and
weighs it!

** Now that _really_ dates me ... of the three centres of surplus kit in
London (Lisle St area, Tottenham Court Road, Edgware Road) only one shop
survives in Edgware Rd and it's a poor shadow of its previous incarnation.
