From one of the towns micro breweries as part of my Dad's birthday present.

I may have to assist in the tastings for a fair opinion and appraisal.

It must be @PeteXXX 's fault.

I don't think he's particularly attractive. It's hard to see how he'd make a suitable escort. Now if people want a real man

Yeah @potsy is your man

 

[PeteXXX]

I had a 'W' reg Escort once. What an old Banger that was!

The recycling bins have now been emptied.

'YKP602J' was the registration of my Dads old Ford Escort. I have no idea why that is the only registration plate I have been able to remember in my whole life so far.

I could not even begin to tell you what mine is now.

Nothing wrong with an old banger you know.

Until you have to weld up all the holes.....

My first brand new car was an Escort, I still remember the number plate HPL490V . I really thought I was the puppies privates with that, the first one in my group of friends that had a new car. What a plank.

Apparently, if you enter FREE2016 into Boris Bike station tomorrow you get a 30 minute free ride. I might wander over to Island Gardens tomorrow and try one out. (I'm outside the zone and every time I see them I'm already on a bike, so I've never ridden one.) https://cyclingindustry.news/santan...re-bikes-this-weekend-as-july-breaks-records/

They're heavy but great fun, the booking and docking system works really well. Download the App, it has up to date info on where the bikes and spaces are.

I've never seen the nearest docking station empty. Besides, there's a rumour that the Sunday London Ride is passing by Island Gardens around late morning and the wait for food there is apparently epic so we might have time to mess around on Boris bikes.

My first car was an old Escort too, turned out to have a hole in the floor and a choke that was a nightmare to use.
25 years later and I'm still driving an old banger

I've done my good deed for the day. Me and the boy were in a pub in Stoke Newington sitting by the window minding our own business when these two oiks pulled up on a scooter, the passenger jumped off with a hammer and screwdriver in his hand and tried to nick a motorbike that was parked outside directly in front of us, I stood up and gave him one of my Vinnie Jones looks and they quickly fled empty handed. The owner of the bike came over and thanked us, didn't buy us a beer though
