Got talking as you at work some got on about Matt Handcock and I'm a celebrity. They've all fallen for him and now think he's great and it's was not all his fault. I kind of had to lay it on the line sorry but what he allowed NHS staff to go though is too close to home.
Guess they are not the only ones his book looks set to be big £££££

I have just arrived in Manchester.

You poor thing.
Fall asleep on the train and ended up there?

Indeed.

The maker in question is Kordes & Lichtenfels, but I believe they are now part of the Andreas Daub concern. I have a few mid-century pieces by both, and IMHO they're better made than English items of similar vintage.

I'll be travelling through there tomorrow.

It was down to 4 degrees this morning. As I looked out of my window I saw a chap on an electric scooter wizz past. He was wearing a padded jacket gloves, a buff over his ears, cycle helmet, hi-viz and a pair of shorts 😮

Those knees will thank him in later life.

Just spent over 100€ on bike parts. Not my money but then I don't get to keep the parts either.

Oops, the parental unit will not be happy as Belgium have been knocked out of the World Cup.

Truth be told though, the team was awful. How on earth can they be ranked second in the world? Ely City would have played better...

True on both parts, but you do get to get your hands dirty rubbing them all over shiny new bike parts.

Regularly. For obvious reasons I have my bookmark set for https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:1.283/centery:51.984/zoom:12
It pays to know what's in & working or heading this way.
