The Retirement Thread

That is nearly as bad as getting "an old ladies shopping trolley".

I've got a shopping trolley in the shed, a most useful bit of kit, before we had the car we used it every week to do the shopping.

Looks like we are on for lots of rain according to Countryfile.

Yep, Tuesday/Wednesday look awful here. Lots of snow for Tuesday night. 😭

I use a shopping trolley - but I borrow it from Tesco for £1 and get the pound back

are you the person who let a Quality Save one down the black path at the back of out house
my 4 year old grandson was very interested in it - kept saying ASDA

I mean - worry -he really should be referring to it as 'The ASDA' by now - it is a cultural imperative

OK - I know I don't , but I am plastic and his Grand is a proper Wool - but his house has purple bins so he has no excuse

(people from less cultured parts of the World may need to do some research to understand this

Google is your friend - or the Echo - but don't take it too seriously - it is printed in the Far East (OK pretty far down the East Lancs Road)

Maybe that last glass of wine was a mistake??????

I will confess to having one as well. When I go to Oban I take it in the car and transfer all shopping to it for carting from car to house when I get home. One trip does it as my walking is not too good. Not been over since lockdown and goodness knows when I can go back.

MrsD bought a Sabichi shopping trolley at the start of last years lockdown as we were walking to the shops a lot more than previously.
She always railed against getting an 'old dears' shopper, but thought the Sabichi was 'cool'.

You didn't dig deep enough?

Thanks, you've reminded me I had bibshorts delivered last week and haven't tried them on yet.

Last year I bought some bibshorts in a Planet X sale . I checked the size chart they were described as race fit ,I thought I better get the XXL . When they arrived I was so pleased. THEY WERE FAR TOO BIG .

Funnily enough I do not think that would apply to me

Just finished watch the last episode of Spiral, brilliant as usual. Finished The Serpent last week and only two more episodes of The Crown to go, then I'll be looking for some more thrillers. I've become a proper telly addict.

Errr - what is wrong with a trailer behind a bike - or ebike????
I'm sure one of those kids ones could be adapted with a hammer and pair of pliers - maybe a hacksaw

Went for my ride, the first since the 8th. Hard work but fun except part of the path goes through a dog park where I encountered a huge great Dane who kept lunging and growling, while ignoring her owner's ineffective bleating. I like dogs generally, but think being mauled by a dog is unpleasant. Had I a Tazer I would have liked to use it...not on the dog but rather the fool who owns her. As Captain Call said in Lonesome Dove..."I can't abide rudeness in a man" ( or woman) just before pistol whipping the offender.
Be well and safe and don't take umbrage like me.
