    food topic no 2: cakes and savouries

    I'm into jam making at the moment. Lots of fruit from the allotment and hedgerows makes it worthwhile. Rhubarb and ginger is currently the jam of the moment. Great on toast - better on ice cream! Been known to make honeycombe/cinder toffee as well.

    I kinda though it was too good to be true when I first saw it as the frame number didn't start Qxxxx plus the fact that the police would have skipped this if I hadn't paid bottom dollar last night. Still musn't grumble for the price of 34 quid when the real dross was going for more.

    The local police were having a charity auction of recovered/abandoned bikes last night and unsurprisingly it was 99% crap except this. The shimano groupset dates it to the early 80's. Also came with sugino cranks and dia-compe brakes. Wondered if anyone could come up with a more specific date...

    Advice after being knocked off bike

    There's an awful lot of info here. http://www.londonfgss.com/thread4213.html And as I understood it, if there is an accident where there is any injury, regardless of severity, then the onus is on the driver to report it to the police. Or so the police told me when I reported getting knocked...
