The Retirement Thread

Mrs SD went for the weekly shop today.

Highlights (2):

Gold Blend Decaf is now £8.35 for 190g* at Sainsbury, but is on offer at £6.00.

There is a road betwixt our Morrisons & Aldi, as the aforementioned lady was driving along it she spotted a Rook (non-chess piece variety) walking straight across the Zebra crossing. 🐦‍⬛

*As an aside, when did 220g jars of coffee shrink to 190g? Only noticed this shrinkflation today.

Life. Exciting!

Back home. Went down to MK, filled the van up ready for me hols. Van is purring like a Swiss kitten following its service.

Q....how does one service a Swiss kitten? Or is that a euphemism?

That's the reason I never ride in a group as I don't want to hold anybody back so I ride solo and don't bother anyone.

Same here, I hate it when somebody stays on my wheel ( they can`t be slipstreaming me, that`s for sure) just go will yer ! I can`t chat and cycle at the same time.

Back from our pub visit and I am truly miffed....yes truly miffed is what I am.
It is normally just me with my neighbour (plus 80 others) but this week my Bro had come from the Wirral.
As part of the package you get a meal plus 2 games of bingo. A raffle is £1.00 optional extra.
During the singers break we had bingo plus raffle.
Raffle 1st and who should wi £20 but my Bro on his 1st visit.
Next the bingo which my neighbour won.... £10.
Me ? I won diddly squat.
Hence my being miffed

I never did group rides as I hate seeing groups hold traffic back. Yes, I know they have the right but I dont like it and some, not all but some groups get cyclists a bad name.
I always went solo or with a mate and we would be single file.
