Errr no.

My grandfather was a sales rep for BT when they were public... He ended up as very senior management in the west Midlands area. He'd been with then since the WWII as a protected occupation and had to wait until they were allowed to sign up to be able to become an air force officer... Obviously went back after the war... We used to get all sorts of freebies and stuff most of which was lived to bits but I do have one out two items in mint condition but not many...

You big girl's blouse.

Some of us went up that fully laden (also with a kitchen sink).
And in the Trossachs Ton I had to go over it twice!

It's not too bad from the north side but from Aberfoyle - aaaargh ! I can ride long and steady; very steep really isn't my thing … even less so when on 20kg of sofa …

Saturday's weather forecast makes Ed a sad panda.
Anyone want to be my windbreak riding companion as I struggle to post a century ride with no fitness - possibly on Arran?
