    28th?

    I think there was some sort of consensus to go to the canal boat this time if the sun was shining, if not to return to PY.

    i think a decision of this magnitude deserves an STV not just a FPTP

    * According to the Citycycleopedia Edinborannica, this is at least 3.

    "The House of Lords will just over-rule you anyway"

    Can still appeal to EU court.

    Ps who controls the weather after Brexit?

    Post bexit there are no rules about who controls the weather therefore ministers in WM have complete ministerial authority by virtue of the Brexit bill, to makes laws up as they go along without consulting the Lord's or the house of commoners.

    Expect weather patterns to be linked directly to affluence and enfluantnce according to your location.

    Up for PY or not PY been a while since I saw anyone in the flesh.

    "been a while since I saw anyone in the flesh"

    That's open to misinterpretation.

    Not sure, I am aiming for 8 though that will be early for me (this week, not been preparing, e.g. leave ironing shirt until morning)

    We were at it at 8 a.m. after Brexit vote was it?

    Thinking of bringing the Czech made Azub Twin.
    If anyone wants to try laid back cycling and tandeming this is the bike. Two unpopular strands of cycling in one bike!
    Our Czech friends have been decent enough to lend this for reviews and feedback before we pack it for Eurobike. Dave McCraw and I rode last Friday and expect one of his reviews soon. In meantime others welcome to try.
    No deviant bike experience required. Sit on seat, move legs and bike goes forward. I do menial tasks like steering and brakes. (There is brake on back though along with rear view mirror).
    pm if you have any questions / are shy etc
    Your chance to do a short test after barge or PY for and support a small EU business (not us - Azub).

    I am at the canal café. It is dry and calm and sunny here. My Elephant Bike is pining for the rest of the herd.
