What I don't like is 'so he turned around to me and says'
Do people not face one another when they speak?
Oh, hang on, I'm not getting out on my bike enough now! Lol

Re:

I do think that some people aren't getting on their bikes enough, personally.

Guilty as charged.
That "So..." thing riles me too. I hear it on Radio 4 all the time, usually from the expert who's just been asked a question by the presenter. I think it's the modern equivalent of "Erm.."

Cannot disagree with you there Mike...there are clearly some on here who just don't get out enough...perhaps a feeling of insecurity - neglected when young ?

Spend their time posting Wiki links at their betters, feel sorry for them.

Sunny here, I'm out on the Roberts.

Rk.
