R.Hobbs or whatever he's called now on here put me off the Swytch a couple of years ago. *
Something to do with the number of people with missing front teeth he'd had in the shop.

I did have a demo ride on a Brompton out at Swytch Hackney Wick HQ.

Just wait five seconds and it will close anyway

Not always - I've stood in a Tesco customer lift with half a dozen people all waiting for the doors to close ( probably thinking its broken again 🙄 ) until some clever person ,usually at the back reaches round* and presses the close door button.

So there.

They really are such ignorant, ill-educated vermin.

Ah that would be the eternal foxes/cats/pigeons 'debates' that brings out the full range of 'shoot the evil bastards ' Ted Nugents camp to the often very reasonable but fluffy and inarticulate environmentalists . Loads of 'I'm just expressing my opinion no need to be rude' tedium.
You can have some fun with it but don't get too smart arsed - tailor your responses to your audience and they may let you stay.
I thought I'd package a few recurring topics into a foxes discussion - my contribution went like this -

         *I saw one of them foxes looking at my car in a funny way the other day so I reported it to the police but typically they weren't interested.*

Someone replied that I should be reported for wasting police time.

Quite childlike really.

Ha !

Very close on Nextdoor a few times if that helps.

Devastating news from my daughter in Glasgow yesterday.
They had 2 house cats that had never been outside all their lives. Soul showed no interest and no attempt to get out but Luna was always trying to investigate the outside world.
They used to live in a first floor 'tenement' flat until 2 weeks ago when they all moved into a ground floor maisonette with a big garden.
Luna got hit by a car outside in the quiet street and died.

So so depressing 😢

Me too - usually accurate within a few minutes from the first spit until the last spit.

I went to Lords and the Oval for the final days of the test cricket - crazy bottle neck masses of shuffling , jostling people getting into and out of the grounds and the tube stations.

I suppose I was part of what was called a 'super spreader event'.

I think the best melons are those grown by 'accident' from kitchen waste chucked on the compost heap or via something's digestive system 😉 .

Kids wolfed it.

Isn't it ...

“Because when you turn the vessel back toward France, when it is across the median line it has to be intercepted and rescued by the French and it appears the French will simply not engage with this, in which case it’s – if you excuse the pun – dead in the water.”

aroma of newly dampened soil after three weeks without rain
And that smell is amazing

Not so much when the dog shit has been rehydrated though.

I might nip down to this tomorrow.

Sunny day and free admission.

Thanks all - reclaiming the 🍆 :)
We've had much warmer and sunnier summers before so quite surprised these did well this year.
I seem to remember a Greek guy growing amazing aubergines on an allotment somewhere up north (London). I think he had inherited some family secret.

I’ve never done well with them

Me neither - every year or so I give them a go but this year they were grown in 35 cm pots/tubs in a very rich compost mix* and fed with comfrey and Maxicrop liquid .
They were growing in a mini polytunnel but it was a pain to get to them and got no ventilation so I cut one end off the tunnel and moved them just outside.

Aubergine ...

I am starting to speculate what my £20 ticket for Monday will get me (in terms of cricket) if anything at all.
I was at the final day at the Lords test and I don't want a repeat of that .

thick black liquid

That sounds like good stuff.
I am disappointed with my comfrey pipe this year as it only produced a small volume of light tan watery liquid. Could be the quality of the comfrey plants themselves as I've noticed they are not as dark green as I've seen before.

It has many uses but ...

Probably did you a favour.

Yep - once they asked "and what are you in ?" they wandered off.
