Sweet, I'm going to Scotland and dont wanna be sitting in traffic or the trains to be too packed. Not so much because of covid but I just never liked loads of people.

I got the train back from Eastbourne after riding the south downs a few weeks ago and it was shoulder to shoulder. Thankfully I stunk and my bike was covered in cow poo poo so people gave me space.

It's interesting how, as a nation, we've been conditioned to understand that when certain newspapers air possibilities in a certain manner, it's really the government making an unofficial announcement about what's going to happen.

The government's made no statement and yet there's people in my office today going: "Yeah, it's going to be delayed by 4 weeks, isn't it."

It's clever stuff.

It's not going to be freedom day, given that Boris is doing his "oooh not sure but everything will be fine" chats, which indicates that he's trying to keep the bad news from us until the last possible moment.

Edit: I should make sure I've read all the pages rather than replying with something others have basically already said :)

The main change left to be unlocked down for me is foreign travel which doesn't seem like it's up to our government anyway? Even after unlockdown day, there's still going to be foreign travel restrictions and red lists and quarantines aren't there?

They haven't even said they'll be no masks have they? So it's what? Meet a few more people at once?

Being offered 100 quid of b&q vouchers to go mystery shopping.

But they want to see a photo of me first. Surely that would dispel the mystery? Can you be too ugly to mystery shop?

Agree but they are out of my price range - I do all my shopping on bikes so they would be left outside Sainsbury’s/Aldi main shopping ebike has 47l panniers with one side converted into a cooler bag so I can get ice cream home.

Ones I try to find on eBay are the proper dutch basil ones, as apposed to the exported bog standard versions we get here. The export bags have worse fastenings and are just big square waterproof bags, the ones they keep for themselves have compartments.

If you do it don't rat out staff for not offering you store credit card or awful things like that. Hated doing bs like that, who in the hell wants a M&S credit card??!

Even now at deliveroo I gotta be careful for annoying mystery shoppers who could rat me out for not bothering to ID people

If I had known you were in the market for some, I'd have sold you my "Ortlieb Classic Back-Roller Rear Panniers Pair in High Viz Yellow. Waterproof." for what you paid just now.

They had been sitting around gathering dust for 3 years, basically brand new, but I offloaded them onto ebay during lockdown as I was clearing things out.

i should have put my foot down with the builder on that first wonky corner. started as i meant to go on.

i've spoilt him by letting him get away with it and now things are going to be visible and forever i daren't challenge him on anything as he has a massive, and awkward tantrum.

the times weve discussed things and hes said yes whats actually happening is hes saying anything to get me to go away and then hes just going to do it how he wants anyway.

if you want something doing right do it yourself, even if youre poo poo at it because the people who are ostensibly good at it are loving lunatic dickheads and it just isn't worth the hassle of dealing with them.

No. Chips are meant to be fried in a cast iron pan full of oil. Air frying is a stupid idea.

It seemed in France you had to be more careful when you bought your frozen bag of chips that they were oven ones not fryer ones so it seems more common there still.

Like in the UK I don't think I've ever got home and gone oh no these aren't oven chips

The ninja one I have is super easy to clean and it cooks meat much quicker than in the oven, plus it’s 2 min to pre-heat it.

My lad eats lots of meat, mini does not, so it’s a good way of keeping the main oven itself for vegetarian food.

I think one of them wrote the "dinosaur pooped the" books for kids, which are legit good. Good cadence and trip along nicely, which is what you want when you read it ²⁰ times a week.

Not as good as the lion inside, which follows the pattern of fresh Prince of Bel air almost exactly.
