So I do get the throttle control thing, well and truly!
I think the bit that does it for me is the (I will be 61 this year) experience wins every time...

I often think my old man is full of it sometimes but 99/100 he's proven right, and I'm nearly 40 !!!! brilliant.

I will be upping my idle today, and will report back.
