Never tried haggis, or black pudding. Just 2 of the things that don't appeal to me. So, don't get me wrong I am not criticising them as I have never tried them. Enjoy it.
I am on balti chicken curry.

Black pudding is the food of the gods. A good one is delicious. Bury black pudding is the best.

Haggis? Done that, never again.

I will manage to sleep without either of them, or tripe.

I'm not a fan of black pudding.

Mind you, I'm the Scotsman who doesn't like porridge.

Tripe is, well, tripe........I believe I may have eaten this once

Very wise, folk may get the wrong idea.

When I started "proper" riding my granddad took me out on what I think were long rides. He had a Brooks saddle, squirted oil on our chains, wore a civvies tweed suit and tie, definitely used Sturmey Archer 3 speed and rat traps. He would have carried Woodbines and a pipe. I rode a turquoise and maroon Raleigh, it may have had gears. I guess this was 58 - 60 years ago. I was 10 or 12, possibly younger, I don't recall.

Today, perhaps 10 years older than granddad, I set off on my ££££ bike, clad head to foot in lycra, clipped in, helmet in place.

Tonight I have on charge, front light, rear light, Garmin Varia, Wahoo Roam, Garmin HR watch, Wahoo chest HR strap, di2 20 speed.

I wonder what Granddad would have to say about that???
