    Well, yesterday was a fine collection of veteran CCE stalwarts.

    (gembo unremembered the first arrival.)

    8:20 seems to be the new guide time -WFH has a lot to answer for…

    I was responding to the First Person’s question of Where are you all? Though that was perhaps not clear

    I'm starting to feel like I've taken on the role of Tom Bombadil.

    Often hard to tell what counts as thread drift on CCE…

    Apparently a staggering 80% of CCE voters prefer PY to be on the first Friday.

    For the uninitiated/forgetful -

    PY = Peter’s Yard

    PY is deceased

    Long life Soderberg (MMW branch)

    MMW = Middle Meadow Walk

    MMW is an unusually useful piece of cycle ‘infrastructure’

    Without Spokes, cycling would probably still be banned on MMW

    ‘We’ have come a long way

    Much further to go

    “PY” is a CCE institution (perhaps the only one)

    PY is a most months gathering of anyone who wants to turn up

    If you haven’t been before you ARE welcome - but understandably it may be off-putting to enter the unknown

    By now most people who turn up tend to recognise each other from previous PYs or some interaction in what passes for the real world

    Unless you turn up very early you can’t mistake the PY CCEers

    They hog the massive middle table

    Early used to be 7:30

    Since Covid/WFH ‘early’ seems to be about 8:15

    Late sometime after 9:30

    The ‘norm’ is to introduce yourself by your forum name, BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY PERSONAL CHOICE

    Usually fun/entertaining, always an experience

    Arriving by bike is NOT essential

    How to get there -

    Ok see you; the day after tomorrow at 08.17am?

    Motherwell will probably be there too, well Wishaw but not Overton Village.

    I like to think it's quality rather than quantity that counts - so doubly disappointing really.
