I use blimey, gosh and golly all the time.

As an aside, when did crossbars become top tubes?

When people started talking American.

When all the "war on the roads" guff started and we rebranded them to make cycling seem less angry.

Didn't you get the memo, I thought all the proper cyclists did?

I was reading a Rebus the other day in which he disparagingly notes that the only beers available were of the 'designer' sort. Made me realise that nobody talks about 'designer' products anymore. It always struck me as an odd term, isn't every product designed ? I wonder when people stopped using it.
And I wonder if Rebus is more kindly disposed to the current artisan, craft, small batch beers ?

I don't say gosh and golly, but I must say blimey at least once per day.

I was still sporting a foam pad on the crossbar of my Peugeot BMX back in 1989!

Me too, but largely for comedic effect as it is bloomin' (there's another one) old-fasioned
