Blimey, did it break clean off? I've never heard of that happening but at 14 and a bit stones and running a lot of seat post I do sometimes fear the worst.

65kg of nothing here.
But when it went it was like a gun shot.

In my Small Plastic Box of Doom, which accompanies me on longer rides, there resides misc. nuts and bolts, including a seat post bolt.

I'll check my diary.

It was the bolt which secures the saddle rails to the seat post rather than the one for height adjustment.
Unfortunately, on this occasion, not only did the bolt shear, but the clamp was rendered cleft in twain - hence the walk to St. Peter's Cycles (Home of Torm apparel, for those who didn't know) and the acquisition of a replacement seat post.
Busy shop, nice people.

You might want to think of rebranding if you're considering putting that box idea on the market

As of Friday 13th Jan, 99% of weekends become my own again for the first time in 5 years. Can't wait!!

Only a little. No more on call, no more duty phones to carry around. Straight 9-5 for most of my life from now on with the odd weekend deployment.

Tops!
Odd weekends.
I remember (or I think I can) a few of those.

The promise is maybe one in 12. I've only been off the duty rota since last Friday and it's like being on holiday

Your relief / joy is palpable.
