Not another chicken war, please. The last one worked out poorly for both of us. (In the 60's, the Common market put tariffs and quotas on American chickens to preserve chicken growers in Europe, so we put tariffs on light utility vehicles from Europe. To this day.Still can't get a decent truck over here.(( Those that do are shipped over with windows and interiors, then removed))so few white vans.)

The toilet is fixed. 
Just had a debate with my neighbour about some disappearing roads. He says they're there. I says they're not. And Ordnance Survey says they're not there - I have the latest 1:50000 sheet which I bought to help me plan rides. He's gone off to look for them.
There's £20 riding on this.

I've given the new bath a test drive, it seems to hold water but it's a bit on the short side.

I've had some fun looking at online map archives. Somewhere between 1961 and 1975, the houses down there get pulled down, the two roads in question fall out of use and drop off the maps. The website I found (national library of scotland, of all places) lets you overlay old maps on the latest aerial photography - really quite cool, that.
When you do that, you can see where the roads used to be - it's a lot less apparent from street level. Now it's just bits of hedgerow between fields and the odd random tree where there was a garden or two back in the day. And what used to be loads of small fields are now just a few big ones. Reminds me of what they used to do on Time Team with Stuart Ainsworth.
My neighbour (he'll be 90 in October) has lived out here all his life, but when you look at the maps and compare it to what's currently there, I don't think even he realises how much this area has changed in recent years.
If you laugh at his fedora then yes.
