The company i worked for had special days like 4th July America independence day etc. One time they had Australia day and had Kangaroo on the menu. It looked vile, gray and nasty. I did not have any.
You should have tried it, it's a bit like chicken / turkey and pork.

Forgot about Death in Paradise as I ended up watching an old Vera on ITV3. I’ll catch up on it tomorrow.

I can see that an insert increasing the distance of the ball of my left foot from the pedal would help. The problem is that I have problems getting comfortable shoes. I finally found a pair that are comfortable but there isn't a lot of 'headroom' for the front of the foot to be lifted.
I can also see that a left heel lift would help when walking or standing but I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference on the bike because ultimately it is the front of the foot that is fixed in place - the heel is free to rise or fall when it wants to round the pedal stroke. In fact, I deliberately lower my heels between the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions when riding my singlespeed bike uphill to help me push the crank through the difficult 12 o'clock position.
I can experiment with saddle height on most of my bikes but my best bike is the one that I do most of my long rides on and I messed up with that one... Despite knowing the risk of corrosion between my titanium seatpost and aluminium frame, I forget to put Copaslip on. I now have a permanently fixed saddle height on that bike!
(Fortunately, that height is pretty good for me, though I would have liked to have experimented by a few mm up/down.) I don't fancy risking destruction of the frame trying to loosen the post. It hasn't been moved for about 6 or 7 years so I don't think it will safely move no matter how hard I try.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I watched The Avengers just before my teens but my hormones were already kicking in. I remember noticing that Diana Rigg was very attractive but I was too young to think lustful thoughts at the time!
