Any freemasons among us might be intrigued to know who has plugged the gap left by the withdrawal of Nationwide's support from our favourite helmet pushers: the Freemasons' Grand Charity, supporting them to the tune of £22,000 - about half the annual staff budget.
Nationwide withdrew support after a number of customers expressed concern at BeHIT's political activities, and their apparent deficiencies in the accuracy department. Are the Masons any less scrupulous? I suspect not...
All this from the accounts, which of course are a public record, so anyone who wants a copy can mail me.

I sense a great conspiracy theory coming on! How about: that's why helmets are being pushed so much by politicians, the masons have financial interests in the manufacture? No, far to obvious.

Using the high-powered research tools available to me, I've discovered that the very land my very own bike storage area stands on was once owned by the Knights Templar. Also, some situationalist wibble about driving motor cars around at high speed much to the consternation of locals: <URL:http://www.unpopular.demon.co.uk/lpa/elpan002/002oxford.html>. So that's the plan they're furthering. Of course.
Tinfoil helmuts anyone?

Drat. Now I want to re-read the Illuminatus! trilogy. Or at least plan a night ride based on that silly triangulation gimmick.

If this is concerned with the underground tunnels in Hertford, we have already had an anonymous veiled warning not to go exploring them. BTW is the DaVinci code just a re-hash of Holy Blood/Holy Grail?

Make sure Carlton Reid at the BikeBiz site knows about this, if you havn't already...
By the way, did you ever get the full reference for the quote used in the Marlew debate regarding the High Court case where it was accepted that it cannot be unreservedly accepted that a cycle helmet can reduce the severity of injuries even when the impcat load is within the design criteria of that helmet? If so could you post it here or E-mail a copy to me. I would also appreciate a copy of the Mason's financial return if possible.

P.s I once 'crossed swords' with an alleged Mason when I worked as a local authority traffic enginer. He was the senior lighting engineer and was trying (behind my back) to actually have a cycle facility in Goole removed,something that would have greatly increased the danger cyclists faced. He told me his motivation was that he didn't belive in cycle facilities as they encouraged cyclists to be 'arrogant' and to believe they had a right to be on the road.
This person later volunteered to act as 'prosecuting officer' for the management when they brought disciplinary action against me for daring to put the interests of cyclists before my 'loyalty' to the car-centric half-wits in senior management...

What? I thought that charitable giving was pretty much the Mason's primary activity these days. What is freemasonry about then, if Guy's got it wrong - don't tell me all that secret handshake dodgy deals stuff still goes on.

You mean the Freemasons charitable works don't include the money to BeHIT ?
Why not, instead of just saying someone "has no idea what freemasonry is about", tell us what Freemasonry actually _is_ about then. 'cos the basic idea to many people is that Freemasons are simply a bunch of dimwits in business who feather each others nests mostly by indulging dubious sexual practices and ritualistic, almost religious, secret meetings.

Are you saying they haven't given any money to BeHIT?
The implication of your posting is that they don't ever give money to charities (since Guy reported that they gave money to a charity and your responmse was that this indicated ignorance of what freemasonry was about). What do they do? Presumably you're saying that the funny handshakes, dodgy trouser leg stuff really is the only thing they get up to.

Nuts, sorry guys my comment got attached to the wrong post. It was ment to be attached to the one that Rich posted.
I have never seen any dodgy deal, but the handshakes do still exist.
