I've had my eye on one of those if or when I need it.
A little ebike story. One of my regular cycling buddies has just bought an eMTB, he has legitimate, acceptable reasons for this. The day after delivery I asked how it was and he immediately replied:
"I took it for a little drive yesterday"
I burst into laughter and he looked blankly at me till he realised what he'd said and joined my helpless laughter.
"Exactly" said I "Anything with a motor is driven......"
Don't think he'll live that one down for a while.

On my FB now. Thanks. Like that.
I've just had a look at the price of Lord Sugar's bike £5,500 WoW..... I won't be buying one, I don't like the colour
Some years back whilst out on a club ride towards the badlands of Essex, just out the other side of Epping we met Lord Alan Sugar riding his Pinarello, in full lycra, and going along at a fair pace.
We stopped at a cafe nearby, and in he comes for coffee and a cake. We had a bit of a chat and went our ways.
Top bloke. Even if he is worth a fortune.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Are you going to arrange a search party? Or just have a real party?
He finally came back and told me all the gossip

Hot Fuzz?When you have the trip you describe I can see why home delivery is attractive. I doubt we'd use it if we had the same journey as I like to examine and choose for myself. I might want to pick green bananas and ripe avocados - the store won't do that for me. We have the utterly ridiculous choice of 15, yes 15, major supermarkets within 5-6 miles of home without even thinking about those in Blackburn or Preston. Crazy!
I was going to go in to detail but it's boring for all but I'll just say this. I believe it's a very important point and the majority do not consider the detrimental impact of online clothes shopping. I knew precisely what I wanted, only available instore in black which I didn't want.
One visit to the store to establish if what I need is in stock. Order instore delivery, which has to be made over three separate days - Next are unable to coordinate this in to one order, someone picked and processed three orders, out for delivery, THREE times etc. I return to store and want to try things on, refused entry to the changing rooms as Next "always close the changing rooms on the first day of sales", quote. Go home, try items on, drive back to Next, return five items, processed instore, collected, returned to warehouse, unpacked, processed, back in to stock.
All of the above was so I could end up with one pair of £25 jeans. I understand how online clothes shopping can be very helpful to some people but it is utterly wasteful of many resources, expensive, clogs up our roads etc and if we examine it's wider implications is a very serious issue which works against the greater good of society.
Rant over!

Doing your bit to help save water.Good morning all from a warm and sunny Barnet.
Sainsbury's have just delivered, its quite noticable how little you get now for the inflated prices.
I will cut what now passes for the grass, some off it in the shadier corners are kind of growing. Still no rain is forecast down here.
Dog walking, bike riding and some ale drinking are the order of the day.

They certainly don’t make them like that now. I don’t find modern comedy anything like as funny.

I managed to walk up to the village to get my tablets today, took me twice as long, but I did it, I think my back is getting better, or the pain killers are doing their job, also got some milk so I won't have to go shopping until next week so hopefully I will get it by trike if the back is OK.

Evening all , how are we all ? I’ve spent the whole day at the sailing club playing with epoxy resin to mend a tiny hole and re roping the traveler on my boat plus some lawn mowing and weed killing .
It’s funny even though the damage to my boat was more than I thought it was ,just the fact I’ve been busy most of the day has transformed my mood, my sense of humour has returned and I am no longer a grumpy old git.
It won’t last
