Especially if you’ve never made a PY/NotPY.

Not PY (or PY?) July 19

Given the rising number of extreme rugged types riding to and from the capital and the fact I've just lent Unhurt my camping caffetiere (coffee squasher) maybe a picnic type thing would be nice?
What exactly do you do at PY's? "The same thing we do every night, Pinkie" ?

Sheeptoucher - a quote from Pinkie and the Brain, you are clearly a person of taste and discretion.
The outdoor NotPY option is normally the Counter on the Canal.

"We" did once do a breakfast on Arthurs Seat, WC organised it. It was so foggy I only found WC and Wingpig by following tyre marks in the grass.

I plan to pop by. The lift bridge may even be open by then given that it appears to be all but finished, although I incorrectly predicted this a few weeks ago and was wrong.

Bridge was open temporarily last \Monday, ie not yesterday but the previous monday

@gembo I was away. Any obvious reason why it didn't stay open?

Bridge was open this evening. I'll pop along on Friday.

Alas stuck down sarf, thought i would be back. Was at the Orchard in Grantchester this morning (lot of early openings down here) there is a cafe with a lot of rules

“there is a cafe with a lot of rules”
You’d better suggest they have one about ringing bells.
Posted 5 years ago # -
They have two about ringing bells well related to bell ringing
1. Park bike at racks
2. No noise, the garden is for meditation, daydreaming and quiet whispersThe one about children is classy, i paraphrase
Children are most welcome but not if they behave like children
It is next door to Mary ARCHER’S house. I saw her this morning well someone who looked very like her fairly sure it was her and after I bromptoned past her there was a waft of fragrant perfume

So, too many rules for a gembo sensibility?
Posted 5 years ago # -
Given the complete lack of rules elsewhere in cambridge (pedestrian zone or not pedestrian zone? Etc)
Tho meditation good

That cafe sounds worth a wee boycott. Discouraging kids from your cafe means you're discouraging parents / carers and they will be disproportionately women. A rude word would be here if it were allowed.
Posted 5 years ago # -
All cafes in cambridge have to have an angle to discourage tourists (very high prices is one way, Don Pasquale prefers arguing with them etc)
All rules in Cambridge are all routinely broken.
Child sitting atop the millionth cargo bike I have seen in four days ringing bell entire time we were there. Sonorous.
Rules more to prevent them being sued if a little blighter fell out the apple tree he or she was climibing against the rules.Posted 5 years ago # -
A record turn out of people with bicycles at The Counter this morning, although more than half of them were from a rival cycling group. Speculation was that they were from Glasgow and were preparing to cycle back along the canal. We had control of the seats and tables in any case so all was well. I managed to be the lucky recipient of a tasty free hot chocolate courtesy of the collective CCE loyalty card, although I now feel that I owe Iain McR something.
