Dear mbr,
I just don't know if I can keep with my subscription to this magazine anymore.
It started with Andy 'Arfa Daily' Waterman and his poor cover up of 'I didn't really sell my mech on eBay, honest I didn't guv!'
I thought that was bad enough... but what do I see before me on page 23 when perusing last night?
The poll and it's horrific graphical misrepresentation. Honsestly, it's a completely different winner if you lok at the picture compared to the actual percentages...
Thetford at 8%, has has 3 squares while Pennine Bridleway get 1 square with 17%. Aston Hill and Penshurst both scoring 5% get different square quotas too?! Who the hell coloured in the boxes? My nephew of 6 could have made a better job of that.
As if that wasn't bad enough... the most proposteous of all lie comes at the end.. Page 137 the top tip of someone usng a discarded jazz mag as a tyre boot. Has to be a lie, it's a proven fact that discarded jazz mags are only ever found on railway sidings. When oh when is a mountain bike ever going to be riding in such a location? Exactly! If you'd have said that it as a kids secret woodland stash, or a bit of emergnecy porn that someone had in their pack then that would be a whole different ball game.
It's the sloppy statistics, journalism and lies that I just can't cope with anymore....
