Re: Who is VP?

Victoria Pendleton??? Whatever gave you that idea!!

No the name is Vera Powell and I’m from Blackpool! I was in London over the summer, working as a toilet cleaner in the Olympic stadium. I was so good at the job that got promoted to clean the medal podium after just 3 days – that in fact was an Olympic record – never been achieved before – privvy to podium in 72 hours! I have since retired as I wanted to go out on a high and Rio is a long way off!

Motability, which were one of the main sponsors were so impressed that they sent me the latest motability scooter to replace my old one – a G3 600 turbo injection – which is why I was so impressed that Andrew could keep up with me on his mountain bike! My scooter has a top speed of 14.6 MPH – he did well to hang on as we flew up hills!!

As for the dance competition, me and my husband Stan have entered the North West of England over 64 cha cha dance off. We’re getting quite good although Stan’s dicky hip is proving to be a bit of a problem – still, Andrew was able to give me some tips to cope with that as we cruised around Cyprus.

I’m still planning to join you on one of your Sunday rides – have to be after the competition now as I have to concentrate on my latin steps.

Talk soon
