Son of Suffolk,
iPhone snapper, leisurely cyclist, watcher of wildlife & drinker of beer.
Still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
Occasionally foreswunk.
Not so much mainstream, more ox-bow lake.
Not entirely serious.
Life huh?

Cycling has come a long way.

And with cargo bikes offering more transport capability plus the option of extra power from electric batteries, the fun and benefits are great

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

He doesn’t have a ‘reputation’ (well, not a good one) he is just a greedy bastard looking to grift a few quid.
The BBC should just tell him to F off.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'
