Cabin baggage 40x20x25cm ???? Pah. You've obviously never met a cycle tourist.

Always handy to wear something on the plane.

Saves getting arrested and space in the bag

Don't need to wear too much though.

Pah! You've obviously never met a backpacker. I used to be totally self sufficient, for 2 weeks, with everything fitting in a 35ltr rucksack.

Gone the other way, using coaches, a sixteen stone rucksack. In my defence I was carrying tractor spares and a leg vice.

Leg vice?? Or should I not ask?

My S.i.L wears eg 3 pair of boxers, 3 shirts and 2 tops etc then just takes a cabin bag on board.
If we go by Jet2 with 25 Kg allowance Mrs D uses every oz of it

Blacksmiths vice.

I have a feeeling Welshie is not fond of mushy peas

You will have to find something else to tempt her with

Morning all.
Damp here to say the least. Set to have rain for the next 3 days at least. A guy we know has organised an outside charity do at a local pub, a shame for all his hard work to be ruined (and other similar events).
So, an enforced chill day today then.
I was supposed to do an 8 mile run with @Mo1959 this morning but there was no answer when I knocked earlier, maybe she just forgot

First Welshie now Mo....you're a bit of a crafty one

 

[172traindriver]

Well it didn't rain

Are you disappointed?

 

[172traindriver]

Thats good to know.
In that case I will re-double my efforts.
One question though. Have you washed your bloomers since you gave up fags. I dont like the idea of bloomers that smell of fags

Thats a bit personal asking her what her bloomers smell of

Morning all, just clocking in for the day.
