John Reynolds? Big City fan, who helped pay for Phil Brignull. Before lockdown used to see him ride his bike on match day down Broad Street. Haven’t seen him in a while.

No, it wasn’t John Reynolds, of huge sideboards fame. I do hope he’s still alive, remember him from the 60s, our nickname for him was Jim Fryatt, after the similar sideboarded footballer.

Re: The Cardiff Walking Lady

There used to be a chap in Newport who would have a shopping trolley full of 5 litre water bottles. He would fill them up then empty them over Clarence Bridge into the Usk, apparently in an attempt to clean the river.
I think he lived in some supported accommodation, so was obviously getting some help, but it can be upsetting to see people with obvious mental issues.

I saw 'flowers' then and immediately thought Mike's Granada.

That is a blast from the past.

Blimey, that takes me back, he must have had that car for about twenty years, if not longer. Think my sister was in the same year as his daughter in Pentrebane school. He was always so cheerful.

Unfortunately she did look worse than ever.

Re: The Cardiff Walking Lady

Every time I drive through Llanishen/Lisvaine/Roath, I see a blonde, slim lady walking. Coming home from the football last night I saw her walking around the lake and around 12 today I saw her walking in Llanishen.

Anyone know her? I love walking but this lady is on a different planet, she must walk hundreds of miles a week.

Walking 7,000 steps a day will add many years to a persons life.

Exercise is everything in my opinion, and we see the benefits as we age, as well as the mental health benefits.

There have been studies about sedentary lifestyles and dementia, although not conclusive they do point in that direction with further work required.
