I'm a little late in replying to this thread so apologies for that.
We had a great day out and thanks are due to Simon for the usual excellent organisation and the interesting destinations and talks. Colour co-ordinating pull-over and Grohlsch crate was an inspired touch.
Thanks also to Ian for his contribution and to the way-markers for guiding the ride seamlessly; we'd wondered in advance how it would work and it was perfect.
Contrary to what I originally thought while I was looking out of the window, we didn't get too wet on the way into town and we'd certainly dried off by the time we reached Euston. The train was 20 minutes late because someone had pulled the emergency stop so we only arrived minutes before the departure.
All Bar One did well considering the size of our group although they should put numbers on the tables if that's what's needed to order food.
I'd have liked to stay longer but I preferred to get back to Euston in plenty of time since I wasn't exactly sure of the route. Riding and navigating after a few more beers would probably have been a mistake.
As it was, we got there in good style although we did get drenched and we managed to find the worst pub in London.
No cask beer. What's that all about ?
The only other event of note on the journey home was a front puncture on Helen's bike. It was quickly repaired with a Decathlon foam aerosol thingy and the tyre is still holding air today.
One of the best parts of the day was meeting up again with loads of CCers and yACFers and it was particularly good to see Diane on her bike !
The funniest part of the day was AH's comment when the ride was cut short because of Simon's recently discovered concern about us getting wet: "He's never farking cared before".

Steady! Marx split from Proudhon in 1847 (with the publication of 'The Poverty of Philosophy', critiquing Proudhon's 'The Philosophy of Poverty'), which led ultimately to the Red-Black split in the First International at the Hague Congress of 1872.

Unless I was making a comment on the lack of workers cooperatives in mainstream tea production?

Brilliant! I love it!
But that was Proudhon, about whom Marx wrote, "In France, he has the right to be a bad economist because he is reputed to be a good German philosopher. In Germany, he has the right to be a bad philosopher because he is reputed to be a good French economist. As I am a German and an economist at the same time, I protest against his double error."

And The Poverty of Philosophy was his first statement on the materialist foundation of history.
I've put the mug back into everyday use!
