I'd happily stop for a pot of strong leaf tea and a slab of parkin*. But I end up in the café where I can't seem to buy a coffee without answering 17 questions about what extras I want in and what length and how hot the milk I don't want should be.
*Something with ginger, treacle, oats should be a cycling legend in this weather. It should be sold not by the slice but by the pedal portion. ''I'll have a pedal of parkin and a pot, please.''
