    Be aware that some lovely little scrote has been scattering tacks on the innocent between DRW and Bingham. Got both front and back tyres on the hybrid yesterday. Didnt have time to fix them last night so took the folder today. Punctured again on way home. Have to go shopping at weekend for more inner tubes. :(

    Have you reported this to the council? Do you tweet? @southwest_team

    I presume DRW is Duddingston Road .. something? west?

    Can you pinpoint the location please so I can report it to the council?

    Sorry, just back on line just now. Thanks for tweeting. Difficult to pinpoint exactly where I punctured. No sudden explosive deflation. Just a gradual sense of sozmething not right, then tyre flat. But yeah, between the lights at Duddingston and the start of thr Bingham section. Couldnt see the tacks in the dark.

    A slight divergence, but can I nominate tammytroot for Best Thread Title of the year?

    The council's 'east team' reports that they are on the case and will get it cleaned up.

    I just spat plum all over my screen when I finally got the title of this thread - note this was only after reading BenN's comment!
