Is the top tube weld failing at the steerer end?

My local does a small cod and chips for £6.30 or a mahoosive cod and chips for £7.50, for Surrey not at all bad, and can order online and collect which makes life simple

Now £8.10 and £6.80 so only a small increase this year

You will probably need more than one photo to check it ...

The listing says it’s a rebadged £50 bso.

The saddle needing some viagra would be my first guess

Had to have a few days in Banbury last week, cod and chips £9.00.

However the biggest shock was a pub in town charging £4.85 for a pint of Carling and £2.45 for half a cider!!

At another pub in town we got change out of £4.00 for both drinks. So my advice if you have to visit Banbury go to the Dog and Gun.

One of my locals has got a beer on at £8 for 1/3 of a pint .... Mind you it's 13.5%

I have seen them in the Lake District, £7.00 a half.

Which pub is that as you are Chester based like me I believe.

The Maynard, near me, t'other night this:

£6.45. No food.

Rubbish beer toboot.

To put THAT full-on, into perspective.....

Last week, I went into my local branch of "W/spoons" - (Actually, it was on the evening of Tuesday, 28th June '22)


I bought THREE - (Yes, as in THREE) - DRAUGHT Pints of the marvellous "Theakston's Old Peculier" for £6.30

That's just £2.10 per pint, on draught !

And they were bought to my table - And I was given another (separate) pint-glass brimmed-full with ice.

Saddens me to say it, but, I've "chucked the towel in" with all other Pubs - This £6.00-£7.00 per pint lark, can go shove-itself !

The Wetherspoons in Accrington is always busy. I'm not keen on busy pubs, so sadly I can't go in the place.

The Cellar, City Rd ... you can get their current beer list online. They also sell a bottle for 30 quid!! No doubt to lashed racegoers who have had a few wins

So many things...

1. that saddle
2. tri-bars on a flat bar
3. the position of the QR seatpin bolt
4. the skewers being the wrong way round
5. the zipties on the pump bracket
6. WTF is that bottle cage?
7. rear mech salvaged from a BSO
8. stem and bars appear to be on the wonk (may just be the angle, though)

If this is the place to report ridiculously high pricing I will put my old BT bill in for scrutiny.

I was out of contract by a year or so which meant they put me on one they saw fit. £185 was what they put in the letter for broadband (basic option down copper line), evening/weekends calls and a newer router.

Let me spell that out...£185 per month!

Is that the one that used to be a normal pub (can't recall the name but I remember the landlord was Fred Smith) opposite where Champers / Maxwells was.

The only place I drink in that area now is the Bridgewater, you can still get a pint sub £3.00.

Is that a business or residential?
I’d go to the ombudsman if it’s residential.

Not sure tbh ... but had a couple of IPA's in there yesterday, very nice .... and they do free bacon buttys on certain days
