Ha, that was exactly my experience here. Had no idea there was one at all running the whole length. Clearing the garden became measure in how many flags I uncovered in a given session. Although mine is ugly council flag stones, but beefy because of it.

Also, for the velux gaps I used Toupret Flex Fill (or Fill Flex) from a tube/caulking gun as it was a long thin fill. That stuff needs to be smoothed down when you apply it because it doesn't set hard (funnily enough, being called "flex"). But as a result should be less inclined to crack and has fibres in it for more anti-crack goodness. Used it around the built in wardrobe trims too.

How big are the gaps? Biggest gap here I filled almost as soon as we moved in. I used a few layers of ready mixed easifill and it hasn't fallen out or cracked since (2+ years ago). If they are deep, you can get lengths of foam (called "caulk savers", I believe) to stuff in the gap first so you use less filler. I used that for the gaps around the veluxes when they were replaced (about 10mm wide and in places infinitely deep as it went into the roof void). Or use expanding foam and finish over the top with a filler. Expanding foam can be a messy fucker though if you've not used it before, and a bastard to clean up if you don't realise the nozzle is blocked, try to use it and then have it pop all over your TV console...........
I like easifill, but recently got a tub of Toupret fine filler which is lovely in comparison (IMO), and sands super easy. Not sure how good that would be at a deep fill though.

I am just down the road in Thornton Heath/Norbury, but as said above, I take mini_com to nursery in Streatham so if there are random tools you might need and don't fancy buying, you are welcome to borrow.

I ride across the top of Streatham Common four times a day if you want to ambush me and try and pick one up that has full porteur front rack, clubhouse, stormbox and Hamax Caress. Plus a few locks.

Depends. I am not a small person, but lifting the GSD over one step eventually did my back in so I made a ramp. But that was more to do with it being an awkward step in a tight gate opening. I'm sure it is possible to lift more sensibly given more space. A friend keeps his in the boot of his Saab estate and has no problems lifting it in and out. Also depends on the accessories as to where you can easily get a hold of it and how the weight is distributed.
GSD is definitely easier to store than an out front cargo bike. And rides more like a regular bike. Plus it will stand up on its arse if you are really pushed for floor space.

Lidl/Parkside cheapo job has been fine for me, even in bright light. The clamp it comes with has been super handy for attaching to random things like cupboard doors or step ladder rails.

For indicating your swinger status, or so I'm told.

I see BOD and Rory Best etc as from a later/younger generation than the likes of Clive Woodward.
Fantastic excuse to fuck off random meetings towards the end of the day though...
