Can you use a Brooks spanner as a bottle opener? Just an idle thought.

Can you tighten a Brooks saddle with a tin of Tennents Super?

[QUOTE 3163651, member: 1314"]Thou spanner doth have gone downmarket. From posh to chavvo. Give me a Brooks Saddle spanner and I will utilise it to open cans of super strength lager (don't ask)...
... sorry Deptford, but it be now a commoner. On the other hand - posh and common make a good pair! Brooks saddle and tramps' beer!

Just noticed the interesting dimple in that crash barrier. Is that where you tried to head butt it after a couple of special brews, mistakenly thinking that you're in Glasgow?

Right, two can play this game! This spanner is being dragged along the world's most treacherous road.

Hope you've remembered to enter the profit from your chilli sales on your tax return CoG... now that HMRC have access to t'internet traffic.
Of course you may be selling at a loss in which case you can reclaim tax.... £20.73 to produce, £5 earned...
"Red Hot Cog" Chilli Sauces, a not-for-profit organisation. You can also re-claim delivery charges on your bike, clothing allowance, photographic costs, Environmental Health Food Hygiene Inspector's 'charges'. The world is your lobster...

On the day of the last FNRttC to Southend, I took @User1314's chilli sauce to my LBS, Woodrup Cycles to go with the humungous corned beef and potato pie that I'd baked for them. The sauce is in the Nutella jar.
The Woodrup crew loved the pie but it was upstaged by the chilli sauce. They raved about it and wanted pots of their own.
There were two casualties from the pie munching. One of the crew managed to get some of the sauce up his nose causing yelps of pain. Later in the day I managed to get some in my eye, I'd wiped some dribbles of sauce from the outside of the jar before putting it in the fridge, half an hour before I was due to pedal to Leeds Station. I had committed the cardinal sin of not washing my hands immediately after wiping down the jar. I was blinded in one eye fifteen minutes and a torrent of snot and tears was generated. To my relief the pain and vision impairment subsided by the time I had to leave for the station.
Got a spare jar Crockers? I don't need it immediately as I'm off to Eastern Europe for a month.
Failing that. How much for a northern franchise including recipe to spread the love, heat and pain?
