You need a broken screw extractor. You drill a hole down the centre of the broken screw. Tap in the screw extractor with a small hammer. Then CAREFULLY wind out the broken screw. The screw extractor has a coarse left hand thread so it bites into the broken screw. DO NOT break the screw extractor. They're hardened so they won't drill out.

Where do you live ? Bring it over to Rochdale and I'll get it out for you. I've never failed yet in nearly 50 years of that sort of work.

Am I right in saying one screw is right handed and the other left handed on bike cranks or did I imagine that ?

Yes, you are right or something like this. I haven't done the reverse drill part but have witnessed it done. It worked like a breeze, I will bring the bike home and first probably allow my neighbour examine it at least whom I have myself helped out a number of times.

On the crank of this one bike, we screwed it in so tightly, the screw-head broke off, I have access to a tool to reverse drill it out but I have never really done it.

I really like the vintage bikes, that old logo for Rudge bikes.

If one sees it, if you have, do you have a reaction? It's always been a bit strange to me.

The old Rudge chainwheel or crank. Nowadays, the bikes have been modernised so much but lots of lore with the old 3-speeds. In fact, before World War II, there were popular cycling social clubs and they would take their "Clubman" bikes out on weekend camping trips. I was reading about it, it was a big deal and sounded like a lot of fun.

A lot to this, one can get a fairly good rendition of the old 3-speed roadsters just like the old ones but they are from India. Pashley also still makes them, one of the last companies still doing so when there were so many out there, Hercules, Phillips, Raleigh, Robin Hood.

I still have a Roadster I used a lot and now is in a bit of a state of disrepair. Lots of fun, I'm just not sure if I want to go through all that again. It has a nice big basket on the front to carry groceries and with that Sturmey Archer hub and controls, seemed to go about everywhere.

Of course, there are plenty of rides where everyone has one of those 3-speeds, dresses the part and everyone goes on a little tour, maybe around some lakes. Simple for the most part.

Good find I haven't heard that in a long while. She is also playing an Ovation Balladeer in blue if I'm not mistaken. I used to pine over that guitar in Reidys, I think it cost about £600 back then!

Thank you for the musical insight to this.

Straight From The Heart - Bryan Adams

Real Madrid lost, Atletico in first and their last match of the year will be vs. Barcelona, by a point, Atletico leads the Spanish League with Barca in 2nd.

Bob Dylan- Love Minus Zero/No Limit

One of my favourite songs ever:

"Pilot of the airwaves, here is my request, you don't have to play it, but I hope you do your best, I've been listening to your show on the radio and you sure seem like a friend to me."

Sometimes, I hear a one hit wonder, in fairness she has a number of good song, and think, that person or band put out a song better than anything some big band did but they only had one big song like that.

Little Richard - Long Tall Sally
