Was anyone else watching the One Show the other night with the young man(name forgotten) doing some sort of speed challenge, he ended up on a spacehopper.
Am I the only one who didn't understand a word he said !!!!!!!!
I seem to recall the lad in question once rebuilt a canal boat.

That was Guy Martin felice, he's a very colourful character , he does have quite a broad accent he's a country lad and races at TT races amongst other things, a tv presenter (has a new show starting tomorrow hence his many appearances this week) mechanic, works for his fathers firm I think.. but gets sidetracked by all the media attention he seems to attract I rather like his down to earth attitude.

He has a fine set of sideburns, but I don't think his hair had seen the hairbrush for quite a while. His manner reminds me of the late Fred Dibnah. He is from Lincolnshire, so that must be his accent. We might watch his programme tomorrow, it looked interesting.

We watched the very good programme he did last week about rebuilding a Mark 1 Spitfire. Fascinating but DH found it very frustrating because we could only catch half of what he was saying. Love his enthusiasm but I wish someone could get him to speak a bit slower!
