Depends.
Traditionally 3 speeds had 1/8th chains.
But as there are many more choices for 3/32" chainsets that is quite likely.
Get a bit of dérailleur chain. If it fits then that's what you need.

Mine looks like a 1/8 but I can check it tomorrow. I'm just back from walking up Goat fell and likely to have a snooze soon.
Four Arran cheeses in the fridge.

Hmm, Arran cheese. Arran blonde happens to my favourite tipple following a holiday there about 6 years ago. In fact I've had 2 bottles tonight, which is just enough. 3 is too many. Arran gold also a favourite, discovered you can get it at the Hopetoun Farm shop. A bottle lasts a couple of years. Might have to go and get one now. Yum, oh chains!

Two with chilli (not both for me, I sent a message to a friend on holiday in Spain when I was on the boat in the morning), one oak smoked and one smoked garlic.
Number 3 son hadn't been to Arran before. He was quite impressed till he found there were no bacon rolls on the evening boat back.

Cheese with funny bits through it: nope.

I just enjoyed a tasty lunch of bread, oil, mozzarella and vine tomatoes... This is the cheese discussion isn't it?

Yes, the ch-ch-chain-changes cheese discussion. Any basil in the jdanielp lunch for the tricolore effect?
I like most sheep's cheese - pecorino, (better check this one, Pecora is Italian for sheep, today's fact) halloumi, ossau-iratu, an English sheep's cheese sainsbury's used to do, feta in my spanicoppita, but most of all manchego with membrillo as the chutney.
Cow's cheese not so much - maybe if I forget I am vegetarian then Parmesan, gran Padano, mozzarella di buffalo (often not veggie either but lovely)
I do not like goat's cheese

You can get veggie hard Italian cheese which is Parmesan in all but name. Grassroots used sell it. I'm reliably informed it's available in Morrisons but the management has banned me from making bread containing cheese so it's while since I've bought any fake Parmesan.

Sainsbury's do a veggie Parmesan it is like cheddar.
Cheese in bread

Aldi micrometer puts the chain on my Pashley at 0.172"

Tesco value Italian hard cheese is veggie and Parmesan-like. Real Foods also sells veggie Parmesan-style cheese.

I had some of the smoked garlic cheddar on oat cakes earlier.
It was very nice.
One of the chilli ones is for a friend who is in Spain just now. I sent him a message when I was on the morning boat and got an instant reply. He'll get it at the end of the week.
The cheese bread has dolcelatta, parmesan and mozzarella.

Plain oatcakes or with seeds and black pepper?
Posted 9 years ago # -
Just plain.
Having more now. I was going to save a bit of the cheese for my cheese loving friend but it might not keep.

I like a nice wee round oatcake but if not available I would go for chunky triangular type. Love them but are they cake?
Posted 9 years ago # -
Judging by the Jaffa cake definition probably not.
Ditto Pontefract cakes and cakes of soap.
Apparently it has never been clearly defined:

Don't forget Mark Thomas and his bogus drug Cake.

Chris Morris, not Mark Thomas.....

Just remember not to leave it out in the rain.

That was Chris Morris, but your Shatner's bassoon is not safe either way.
Visited the newly minted Leith Market on Saturday afternoon and got some cheese from Cedric and a boule.

"Cheese with funny bits through it:nope."
My in-laws in France love Sainsburys lancashire with embedded apricots/cranberries/ball bearings.
I wouldn't touch it with a bâton (Just For @Gembo) but there you go.

I remember trying to persuade my French exchange family that the British made cheese too. They were having none of it

@sallyhinch
Next time they pull that trick ask to see the full range of French beers.

@gembo no basil I'm afraid, but it was still very tasty.

Really interesting thread wander (which I certainly contributed to), but I still don't know what size chain to put on the pashley.... ;)

@ nelly and @ IWRATS
The best beer in the world ever is French. Yes. jenlain. Alas they have gone from the absolute zenith when the bottle was champagne in style with cork and wire and in the glory days with a Starry, starry night label. Screw cap and jenlain label now.
Also Incannot drink it now in the way I used to (Xmas order dozen bottles) as it is too strong.
Edit. Looks like still with champagne cork in some photos.
Biere de Garde style

"still don't know what size chain to put on"
Have you got the old one?
Put it on you other bike's chainwheel.
If it's very loose - esp. side to side - likely to be 1/8th.
