They were indeed a scam mostly and the selling was very aggressive. A bit like the pyramid selling scam.

Okay, who let the very intense American guy into my house...? 
Jeez - that made me jump!
I was just about to watch a Trump-bashing video when my sister rang, so I closed the lid of my laptop and started chatting. 20 minutes later Mr Excitable USA shouted from behind me!
It turned out that I had accidentally nudged my wireless mouse with my elbow, and that fired up the video again on YT! (I hadn't actually realised that I could restart the laptop with the lid closed, since the power button is hidden by the closed lid.)

We'd one nearby, then early one morning one got out onto the "A" road beyond the trees. Got hit by a wagon before it got across the road.
Anyone know what UWSL does?

I am the same!
Many years ago my sister watched me walking away from her and told me that I "walk like a woman"! I asked what special way a woman walks, and she explained that she meant like female catwalk models - hip wiggling...
Years later I noticed something when walking to and from my then girlfriend's house. The quiet backstreet between the 2 houses has no pavement, and a pronounced camber. Both ways I would walk on the RHS of the road and felt comfortable doing so. I discovered that if I walked on the LHS of the road I felt like the camber was toppling me to the left.
I concluded that my left leg is significantly shorter than my right.
It is pretty obvious when I am cycling that I don't sit straight and upright on the bike. (And my saddles wear down one side.)

Or when trying to stand upright... That's why I was leaning on the side of this photo!

Sounds like you need the appropriate heel raiser and perhaps shoe inserts. My left leg is 0.5 >0.75cm shorter than my right. It took 62 years to discover this!!!
Initially I received some NHS treatment which significantly improved things. In January this year a friend who is podiatrist specialising in bio-mechanics said to me "You know you pronate on the bike?" I knew this when I walked but not cycling. Long story short she provided me with the correct heel raiser and inserts. The improvement is remarkable.
From a cycling perspective I've raised my saddle 1.5cm and moved it back 1cm. I now cycle upright and my tendency to veer to the right has disappeared. This is because my seat height was always a compromise which worked for both legs. The saddle was too low for the right leg meaning when I pushed hard the bike would veer right as I put slightly more power down on that side.
A heel raiser is definitely worth considering and a lot cheaper than new cranks.

Well Google suggests University of West Lothian..........which actually wouldn't surprise me given Tenkaykev's love of Bromptons and trains.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
The company i worked for had special days like 4th July America independence day etc. One time they had Australia day and had Kangaroo on the menu. It looked vile, gray and nasty. I did not have any. 
That’s odd, I’ve no idea where that came from 🤔

Had my Moderna vaccine a little while ago. I felt sorry for the folks working this as they were outside in subfreezing temps with a 20+ wind. Got the shot through the drivers window. Very nice people. However, I had to wait 15 minutes for possible side effects before I was to leave. A few minutes after I left the radioactive chip injected with the "vaccine", so the gov't can track me, had the Broncos football game begin playing in my head. How weird was that....they only play at night. I'll get the second vaccine in a month, maybe I can substitute old Honor Blackman bikini clips for the Broncos since I don't follow sports, but do appreciate the lovely Ms Blackman.
