Riding along on the tandem with my son recently, he mentioned casually, I just saw a £20 note. He didn't sound very excited about it so I thought for a second, then decided not to leave it to chance: sure enough there it was !

Ah yes, we found some hedgerow grumble the other day.
Except it was in the middle of the street.
Outside the doctor's.
???
the really annoying thing was that I saw a brand new left hand glove that looked my size near Penzance - and then saw a matching right hand glove when we got near Fort William ... if only I'd picked up the first one
Ooh good. Can you check if they're free on Oct 15?
How come you always seem to find so much stuff?
???
Who the hell discards half a sponge?
Oh!, any one want those shoes!

I was wondering the same...I never find anything useful. The occasional discarded glove and that's about it. I think I've only even found hedgeporn once!
Got any 27 nuts ?

It's winter gloves season. As in, the roads are littered with the things (though rarely in pairs). There must be a lot of people going around with one cold hand.

Didn't look to be anything of any value, but called 101 just in case. and 20 minutes later, PC came out , and said very interested in it at the moment, as they are '' actively persueing enquires, relevant to related incidents in the locality '' I didn't hang around after he turned up, as I'd chilled off a tad too much by then, and was cold.

Found this on yesterdays ride. Unfortunately I had forgotten to take my own phone, so could not take a picture 'in situ'. The phone , a Samsung S111 mini,(apparently), was discarded in a hedge, with the back of the phone closed up. On retreiving said phone I thought...hmmm, that feels light. Sureenough 5 yds away was the battery on the pavement. Now the question, why was the phone closed up, but missing the sim and battery. If you pinched the phone, then found it was locked to network, and disconnected, then you'd just lob the lot without reassembling!!.
anyway, its a S.. S111 mini, , with a slight crack to the screen, no sim, AFAIK its not locked to any network, as I tried unlocking it, but it says 'not active' which means its not locked.... ::-) Wifi works fine, has an sd card (i think) , and it takes a big sim. Mne is a med one so wont work in it, so I cant try it out. no numbers locked in contacts etc etc......, and the charger lead is same as my Nokia :)

Not on my ride (I was walking), but someone else's I presume: a copy of "South East Mountainbiking, Ridgeway & Chilterns" by Nick Cotton. Wrapped in a clear plastic bag so largely dry and usable. Found on the bridleway which runs N-S through the Wormsley estate near Ibstone/Stokenchurch, one of my favourite rides.
That should have been handed over to the dibble for forensics.

Was riding in this morning, alongside the A2, when I notice cars on the main 3 lane carriageway,swerving all over the place, then I saw this in the MIDDLE lane. I was thinking what would happen if a M/bike had hit it, , so I jumped off Olive, crossed 2 seperate sliproads, and out into the middle carraigeway, and dragged it all back to the hardshoulder twixt the 2 slip roads. Within 5 mins a plod car drove up, and I flagged him down. I told him the sequence of events, and he said '' fair play to you for doing that, but 'we don't have facilities for lost property' says he, ' with any luck they'll realise its missing and come back for it. Ah says I, but look where its situated, bit dodgy someone reversing up a slip road, ....'OK we'll sort it, you be on your way,...and thanks. ::-)
ps, I could add that ' they were only Carrera bikes, but then I might be called a ''Halfordist!'', and that would never do.!! :)
And that was yesterday? You've clearly got a lot more ice/lower temperatures than here, thus proving that Birmingham is in The North.
More interestingly, you've got ironing witches. Now that is a curious phenomenon!

You know those yellow and black striped pencils we had in the 80s? One of those. Well-chewed so, again, I didn't stop.
A canal-based commute is usually good for a bit of random. Today:

It's a celebration of international Women's day: a witch's hat overlooking an iron that has been symbolically discarded.Which failed due to the lack of electric power points on the canal bank.
Or a failed attempt to thaw the ice.
Neither iron nor hat were there today (as far as I could see) but there's still a fair amount of ice, albeit very broken up and patchy. And a coconut. Two if you count the other one on the other canal too. Sign of Spring?

I found a discarded cigarette packet, while I pulled over to adjust my gears (new cables bedding in). There was a price label on it: "£8.35p" Fucking hell. I wish I could give up smoking. You'd pay for n+1 in no time.

If you still smoke, how come you were surprised by the price? Surely you pay this every day/other day?

Blimey. I remember when 20 Number 6 cost 1d each. 1/10 for a pack of 20.The pedant in me spots a missing decimal point...
...unless smoking is MUCH more expensive than I believed!
£8.35 for 20 is within the same order of magnitude as 200 for £107, or 1 for slightly over 50p. Hence my surprise.

In central London, the only two stations I can think of are Charing Cross (assume open 24/7, considering location) and one near Holborn.

Colloquially known as a 'smurf lane', m'lud.
They seem to have missed out on a lot of the Smurf stuff (although I have a plastic lunchbox with smurfs on which I bought here), so the Germans don't seem so excited about smurfs, or indeed having a form of bicycle gearing named after them.
I can still remember the advert: "We are smurfs from National..."

Some little chaps pride and joy from the 1950's / 60's, and there was remnants of a sort of lightweight orange box. I wonder if they were a sort of time capsule thing. Don't know weather to bring them hme and clean them up, or put them back, in a sealed tupperware box , with a note.

Morris dancing, is a form of traditional dance where men in costume dance while banging sticks together. The really clever guy is given the task of getting it 'wrong' deliberately and not getting clouted over the head or in the groin in the process.
I'm sorry if this is obvious to you but you will also note the left end of the stick is bound. I suggest this is Blodwyn's practice stick.

I found this on a smooth piece of grass near Henley. Good job I did because it was rolling towards a hole and if I hadn't acted it would have been lost forever. A bloke in the distance was shouting and shaking a stick. Probably 'Well done" or something but I couldn't make it out.

I don't know. D's not played with it much yet. Checked it electrically and found a suitable cable to connect it with other kit. Says mains buzz is only audible in absence of music. D's hearing is MUCH more sensitive than mine, which is basically fine.I assume it's an active sub-woofer, i.e. one with a main cable.
D found a discarded oil painting of tulips a few weeks ago. It's on the wall in our hallway. The blue swivel chair in D's office is another roadside find.

When I was small, we had a tumble drier mounted on top of the washing machine in the downstairs loo. For reasons that probably made sense to my mum, a triffid like that lived in a (plastic) pot on top of the tumble drier. Every now and then a combination of dry soil and the spin cycle would cause it to jump off and attack a vulnerable toilet-user.

They don't usually take pressurised canisters, even if empty.
How do you do that, please? I'm wondering if something similar might be possible with empty butane-propane camping gas cylinders so they can be scrapped/recycled.

Our normal recycling bin will accept empty aerosol cans. A camping gas cartridge is basically the same thing...Probably not in the eyes of the binbods.
They recycle them by crushing, so residual gas could be an issue. What is in aerosol propellants these days, still butane?Could puncture the can, to make sure it is empty.

All of these were my thoughts, though wary of hitting it with a nail and causing a spark somehow. Anywayz, I have 16g still to use up – that's about three cups of tea!They recycle them by crushing, so residual gas could be an issue.

Can get a Jetboil Crunchit tool designed for this. Or just hit it with a nail or axe.
On the diving cylinders and the NO2 cylinders, the valve is screwed in. I've taken the precaution of blowing into them and then feeling the air come back out, simply to prove to myself that the valve is open and not broken jammed closed. Then it's just a case of unscrewing the valve.How do you do that, please? I'm wondering if something similar might be possible with empty butane-propane camping gas cylinders so they can be scrapped/recycled.

Oh, I found a full-length mirror last week. But it only half counts, because I was on the Brompton on the way to collect a hire car, and cunningly used the car to pick it up[1] on the way back.

That's very tempting, though they're sufficiently lovely that I'd be worried that I'd ruin them in the first 5 minutes through overenthusiastic use of clamps, incompetent power tool depth stop adjustment or miscellaneous unplanned combustion.
Of course, once that's over and done with, you soon stop worrying about it.
A Gazelle is not a BSO. Somebody will be missing that.

So, did you rescue the Dawes?
So, did you rescue the Dawes?
No, I didn’t, it was quite schmall, I’m guessing 24” wheels, a yoof’s machine, ( google suggests 1998 vintage Giro 300) and I guessed I would have no use for it, and neither would anyone else. Had a double chainset, and a quill stem. It was gone next day.
