Do you think that’s what I’m doing?
I wasn't singling anyone out with that. But there are some posts that felt to me like they are coming very close to gate keeping.

The Pub / Re: The RANT thread (often contains fruity language)
« Last post by ElyDave on Today at 10:28:53 am »Speaking of which, buses.
Waited for a bus which didn't come this morning. It's no wonder the general populace drive everywhere.
There is a train which allegedly goes from London Liverpoo Street to ely at 1707. I've stopped bothering to try and catch that one because I've never actually seen it in real life. And not being arsed to wader over to KC, I now end up on the 1807, which at least exists, and is generally not too crowded.

Rides and Touring / Re: Have you been out today?
« Last post by JefO on Today at 10:20:11 am »Yesterday JiberJaber of this parish gave my legs a nice battering, with a superb ride of 50km. First up was a loop to the east of Chelmsford, taking in the wondrous bluebells of Danbury woods and along the canal followed by a loop to the west of Chelmsford both loops having a plentiful amount of elevation.

The Pub / Re: Science that makes you cringe
« Last post by Jurek on Today at 10:10:56 am »On a related note, I had one refuse to recognise a bag of keto-snacks on the grounds that someone had torn it open and helped themselves to two of them, which I only noticed when I discovered the hole on the third attempt and counted 10 rather than the expected 12.
I then had to explain the problem to the assistant, who was baffled that I'd noticed.
OT, but my pack of allegedly 12 toothbrush heads delivered by Amazon Sunday had but one head in it. The box was sealed with a reusable sticker, which someone had obviously reused after helping themselves to eleven of the heads. Nice of them to leave me one, I thought.
When I was still working for the museum, we had to be on site the following morning. One of our party was lacking steel toed footwear, so an order was duly placed with RS, with a 'before 10:00' delivery.
When the parcel turned up it did indeed contain a pair of size 42 steel toed boots.
Only these had reached the end of their service life with the outer heels worn down at a jaunty angle.
Doubtless, someone at the RS warehouse was walking about in a pair of nice shiny new boots.
