What Have You Fettled Today?

[Andy in Germany]

Well she should do the repairs herself. Unfortunately labour rates are the problem. She must be saving a fortune in not running a vehicle is she commutes/shops with her bike.

That reminds me, I've got to build my wife's front dynamo wheel back up before boxing day, we are going out to meet friends .

Apparently she's a medical school student from north Germany, hence the Dutch bike (and lack of money). Tübingen is a major university town so we get a lot of students, in fact my manager is quite pleased to have an English speaker on the team to deal with international students.
