Dear @AldiUK when the queue for the one open till is up the aisles, and the poor one till worker is struggling to also manage self scan, how about opening more tills? Cos it’s shit for everyone at this point.

Hey @SchwalbeUK what’s going on here. 4months in the shed and the front tyre has pulled itself apart (was at 60psi, now flat). SFAIK was fine when put away. Perished?

Of all the days @atherton_bikes could have launched their new “glued together” aluminium bike… Pivot did them no favours!

It’s @mattfixerpayne on the Eurosport CX Worlds commentary for the MJ. Phew! I only caught the WE yesterday, with diff commentators, and the commentary frustrated me.

The joys of British public transport. 1h20 of standing on the train to London.

First chance this season I’ve had to sit and watch a World Cup CX live. It’s a cracker too.

Every year I think “I’ll not leave my tax return til the last minute next time.” 12 months later… #submitted
