£1.8? Per hour seems a lot ! I wonder if their uniform comes out of that ?

Are you denying my cyclo-meteorological lived experience?
You'll be demanding empirical evidence next...

Can peeps remember riding at night in the 60's and 70's with battery powered lights ?
It was a bit like holding a seance whilst cycling as you didn't know what was going to suddenly turn up !

Dropped into the hotel where, thirty years ago, I used to work at as the Restaurant Manager today. Whilst I was waxing lyrical to a member of staff, a customer asked for a Feta cheese salad and was told there was no Feta cheese available. I immediatley chipped in with ' go and buy some then - !' as there is an ASDA superstore literally two minutes drive away. Was told 'they can't do that' and the staff member then told me that on Saturday, they didn't have enough bread for breakfast service. The night manager wouldn't authorise anyone to buy some locally and he was too woosey to contact the general manager at 07.00h. in case he woke him up - !
So they ran out of bread / toast for the customers brekkies - !
I know what my reaction would have been.
Anyone - ?
Sounds like someone should have shown some initiative.

You always remind me of Shortwave Magazine when you mention Short Circuit.

Be sure and wear a helmet when you do that second one.

I had a dynohub but also a battery lamp on the forks so I could see the kerb on those dark Norfolk nights.

I've been doing some diggins! I've almost become domesticated ! 
The worms seemed to have a look of surprise about them ! I don't know it was from seeing me digging or from being thrust into the bright sunlight all of a sudden .

Note to self, when using a stanley knife blade (just the blade) to remove silicone from around the bath, remember the rear of the blade is sharper than you think. I now have about 10 slices on two finger tips.

I had a rub against the tyre dynamo, which was crap and went out when you stopped and very dim up a steep hill.

When my son worked in Kuwait the fish farm workers were all Indian and he thought they were paid a pittance which was true. They on the other hand thought they were well paid and told him that when they went back to their home villages they would be the richest people there.£1.8? Per hour seems a lot ! I wonder if their uniform comes out of that ?
He was training Kuwait people to take over but their idea of a hard days work was to arrive about 1000 have coffee and read the newspaper before heading home again.
