...and Alex Dowsett.

I'm really (secretly?) annoyed at the way the Brits have been left out...no Swift, no Dowsett, no Kennaugh, no Wiggo and no Millar.

I'm just waiting for the call to say that I've been left out of the race as well :sad:

:ohmy::ohmy: where is the totty British support going to come from? We as Brits are great cyclists. I will boycott if they leave you out ;)

It's not just old ladies - it tends to be women generally, I find. Most men have their wallet out and are ready to pay as soon as the stuff has been scanned.




Runs off before theclaud gives him *The Stare* for such a blatant generalisation about the laydeez...

People working in chip shops who apply the salt and then wash it off with vinegar. DO IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND YOU FOOL:gun:
No no no! The whole point is to use the vinegar to achieve a more optimum salt distribution. If you salt after, you only get salt on your top chips (and too much at that). Judicious use of the vinegar as a distributive agent, post salt-application, carries at least some of the salt to the lower layers, where it will bring more long-lasting satisfaction. Be grateful that the chip shop attendant is better informed than you appear to be; you are the beneficiary of his, doubtless highly-trained, expertise .

We are taught from an early age to keep our purses out of sight as much as possible, to avoid some guy grabbing them and running off.
 
I also hate it when women don't have their money ready at the till and end up looking for the money and going through pennies and all sorts. I feel like paying for their shopping and I have done on one occasion after she pored out all her coins.

If they do it properly, the basket of chips from the fryer will be briefly emptied into a sort of drip tray and stirred around to remove excess fat, then add vinegar and then salt so it is done evenly.
