- Ok, so I'm browsing through the new "Cycle World" and what do I see
- but a letter to the editor which mentions the Spagthorpe-Peerless.
- Shocked and amazed, I check the author's name, reach for The List
- and find:
-
- 0614:Tom Maloney:RI:tjm@math.ams.org
-
- I'm not quite sure what all this means, but there must be some far-
- reaching implications of some sort. Will "Spagthorpe" come to be a
- derisive term for collectors of feeble old bikes? Will future
- generations of Denizens debate the origin of the term? Will CW claim
- credit for it? Will the true and noble meaning of the word be forever
- lost? Is there any suitable punishment for this breach of security?
-
- You realize of course Tom, that your royalties from CW must be split
- 90/10 with Martyn.
