This thread is five years old! Perhaps Wilcoxon has found their way around it in the intervening time.  :D

I haven't,  and more places are showing up all the time,  businesses I have never heard of.
I just can't find out how to get rid. I see settings etc but have no idea what to do with them.  It's easier to find John Jones in Dolgellau 😄

The location I put in before doing this was Grays Inn Road,  London  (the area where Barry Sheene was born!), I've never been there, it removed all of the restaurants, takeaways etc.  Try it,  turn off Timeline settings,  believe me it does work!

Hi Roobarb and Wilcoxon

I only tagged the bit about the bike coming up for sale on this thread, because I found your reference to Sheene.

There were three of those Works Machines built and I believe Pat Hennen had the other and the third Works Machine was a spare.

Hennen caught a kerb on the Isle of Man and crashed out around 1978.

I miss all that adrenalin rush of youth!

But I think I've had most of my nine lives  ::) so perhaps a good thing I had to calm down.

I remember going into the Motorbike Shop in Ramsey, Isle of Man wanting to hire a road Legal Honda 400/4 for hire in their window, got my paperwork out and he said you're joking.

I'm not hiring you the 400/4 and I asked why and he replied, because you'll bring it back with slicks on [bald tyres]  ;D

Take care all, Mark
