Did you tell them "ride fast and you can just roll over the Pennines"?

That was interesting!
A bit on the news just now had a chap saying that a container from China used to cost £2,000 , he has now been quoted £15,000 for a similar container. It just shows that we should make things ourselves and that buying from abroad isn't always cheaper.

@Illaveago container prices have rocketed over the past 18 months. It's one of several factors changing the balance of manufacturing costs.
Oh, and I'm sat in a medical centre waiting for an unpleasant investigation. It's a private company using the NHS base. If I can't sit down for a week afterwards there's a good reason.
Getting older's not fun.

Apparently Containers are generally built in China, whereas Swapbodies are usually made in Europe: swapbodies are more expensive to make but lighter and larger in many cases so they work out cheaper in the long run.
So there. This is what you find out when you make models of random stuff instead of having a social life.

Had a lovely ride out today in sunshine but not too warm. Got back, had a cuppa and now after checking a few mundanities am going to have something to eat. But what? Mrs C has gone shopping with daughter so I have to decide myself! Oh My!

I'm back. 16 miles off road. 8 minutes in it started to rain, and 16 minutes in, it chucked it down. Fortunately I was on the tow path which was heavily tree lined, so avoided the worst. After about 30 minutes it stopped leaving a dry ride.
My knee is still sore - can't put any power down, but I'm OK spinning - managed 25 miles yesterday. It's more painful walking
Pain is the top edge of the kneecap so I suspect I've strained a ligament. So long as I can ride, nothing matters.

If you’re not at the start of the Roses to Wrags audax on Saturday, I’ll know why. Fingers crossed for you.@Illaveago container prices have rocketed over the past 18 months. It's one of several factors changing the balance of manufacturing costs.

A company I do contract work for bring in around 70 containers/month & were paying £1,750/container, currently £8-10,000. Too many empty containers in europe/UK & not enough empties in the east is a major issue leading to the rising costs. Interestingly some of their containers have just docked that we're stuck on a boat in the canal🙄
