Looks a lot like a disgorger to me. [edit]: I can’t see the slot though. You could turn it into one?

Yep I think you’re right, hornet hoverfly—it was pretty big!

Is this big fly Tabanus sudeticus?

Another disturbing front garden.

Those aren’t shutters, it’s a front garden fence: https://goo.gl/maps/iCUWi8b7GTWuSFJa6

What's going On at number 34?

I guess you could send them an SAE and ask… maybe provide some multiple-choice style options and space for a free-form explanation?

Ooh I think that I actually know where that is! The football pitch needs a mow & the bridge is something of a bumpy ride?

I guess you haven’t tried searching for forum mentions of those tyres…

Re 23mm Marathon Pluses they’ll be fine on towpaths, except for the lumpy cobbly bits in the wet. Canals aren’t usually very deep at the edges, apart from by the locks.

Stick something in the bar ends before they take a human core sample.

Stewart Lee did a great bit about leaving London and living in the country

Very nice! I similarly got a Leach Marathon from a cellar—but given to my by the sole previous owner before he died. The paint was too far gone on mine; Argos did a good job on it, but yours looks like it just needs a wipe with an oily rag. Single speed by the look of it? Pics of mine before & after here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/rsstephenson/dox6Kj & if you haven’t already read it some notes from classic lightweights.

Ceiling tiles in general.

I meant “why does it seem like it’s in South London?”, not “I don’t go South of the river, not this time of night guv”!

South London

But why? I’m dying for another crack at this game now so that I can use this location:

Me too. I’ve only known where to go once or twice, and never from the clue—just by happening to recognise the location or zoom/enhance to be able to search for it. This looks very much like someone’s front garden, and despite the modern trend for putting hard standing and a car on them there are still loads of them! I’m resisting asking for a hint, but it’s no good: please can I have a hint?

Whereabouts are you…? I can sort you out with some green ones from E15. PM

Reminds me of something

This, perhaps? https://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/product/heavy-duty-padlock-bolt-300mm-galvanised-steel-914929

Next door’s garden a couple of weeks ago, very rarely used apart from by the resident foxes; I lifted a fence panel and buried this one where it had fallen. The smell alerted me, and I didn’t fancy a plague of flies. Poor old fox, even though they dig everything up etc I much prefer them alive than dead.

Good stuff… any plans for cloth patches?

Viburnum.

It’s a turret.

I don’t see very many tandems, but I think that usually the pedals are aligned—is this a full suspension mountain tandem thing? Maybe it helps when setting off—at least someone will be able to push with one leg. But if that’s the reason, why not 90°?
