Buying an Lc and paying someone else to restore for you. Means you have too much cash and are not a true "LC person"

I thought I was the only one that didn't like Pro-Am fairings. Don't like belly pans either. I don't like it when magazines do an article about LCs and use a picture of an LC with the Pro-Am stuff fitted to illustrate it. Back in the day no one I know had them fitted. Mainly because no one had enough spare cash to buy them but that's besides the point. Here's a new one: "no one rode a standard one back in the day." Yes we did. We ended up with crap paint jobs and Microns/Allspeeds and white wheels/red frames because: A) we crashed our bikes and couldn't afford to get them repaired/painted properly and B) we were young and daft and had no sense/style. Now I'm older I realise that nothing looks better than a standard LC straight out of the showroom. So true for me as well. No one I knew had anything tuned by Stan Stephens either but the mags would have you believe we all did that as well lol. Im still amazed that at the time we managed to keep the bike on the road let alone spend money on stuff like that. Sure bolt ons like pipes went on, what teen doesnt want noisy pipes that make you think youre faster than you are and we did things to make the bikes look 'our own' but never saw a pro am fairing where i lived, even into the 90s etc. I think we acknowledge that LC is a classic bike and was well styled and worked out of the box, thats what its a classic bike now and so sought after. We only changed things to make them our own so you could be spotted easily by your mates as you went by... and sadly also the cops lol. I used to restore 50cc bikes. They are cool and lovely as ornaments, but not great to ride in modern traffic unless youre in a pack. you can also spend the same money doing up a 50 that you can on a bigger bike (apart of the engine) so yes they can be money pits. I dont have one now but i do miss them. I moved into 125s and 200s and they went as well. Maybe im lazy but riding in traffic means you need a turn of speed... I had pro am fairings on an LC in 1986 and a Stan Stephens tuned YPVS in 1990 I also think LCs are shit in comparison with modern bikes and I've only got one for nostalgia reasons.

Couple of issues there Firstly it has to be a scotch pie on whatever you are calling your roll Secondly, 40 feckin pence for a knob of butter 😳 Although nothing like a nice hot pie to melt your knob 😉 Steve

Scotch pie? Dont you mean a bridie? Seen them deep fried as well.... And it wasn't in Forfar.
That advert is from the home of the pie. Wigan is the centre of the Pie universe, which is why 3.14 appears on it's post code.
Good luck in one of their shops arguing the toss why a barm should be called a roll.....you risk a battering with no flour or a deep fat fryer..... and probably go home covered in pea wet just for good measure.

Nope, scotch pie or nothing 😤
And don't talk to me about northern pies. They cheat putting mashed potato in to pad out the meat 🤮

A round & flat (ish) bread thing like the one you would put a burger/onions/ketchup/mustard in is called a bread cake.
A longer round bread thing like the one you would cut along it's length and put a sausage/onions/mustard/ketchup in to create a hot-dog is called a bread roll. That distinguishes it from the above by basically describing how it is made.
Any other descriptions of the above two items of bread are wrong.
We have Christmas Dinner not Christmas Lunch and it is traditionally eaten around mid-day. Therefore my case is closed.
We have a guy from London working here, I think there is some kind of requirement to employ a quota, anyway he insisted it was called Christmas Lunch. Never heard such nonsense.

Never heard anyone call it Christmas Lunch, thats just weird. Lived in the South of England for many many years. No one here calls it that either. Its dinner... no matter the time of day. And... most xmas day lunches are at about 2-3pm arent they? After all weve all had multiple snacks and drinks all morning and lets face it who on earth is up early enough to cook a huge turkey for the requisite hours to eat it at midday lol. Family xmas dinner lasts for hours it seems at our place, no one wants much tea(*) after...
* - lets not get started on what that means lol
FYI in Aus a Roast Dinner is called a Baked Dinner... no idea why but thats what its called. Asking for a Roast will get you some funny looks I guess, Ive never tried. Again no time of day limitations, enjoy it for lunch etc.
Amusingly the London guy story reminded me of my folks meeting up with a friend who couldnt stay long as they had to get home to make dinner for their Aussie guests. Apparently according to their son's Aussie girlfriend 'all Aussies eat dinner at 6pm sharp, no later'. PMSL what a crock. This friend of my folks really believed we all ate at 6pm like it was some rule, madness. That London bloke's Christmas Lunch comment might have been the same, ie just his take as it certainly wasnt what everyone where he was from did.

"Podcaster" Is not an occupation and does not make you a celebrity

"Podcaster" Is not an occupation and does not make you a celebrity and neither is "influencer." Whatever that is. Don't you play "guess who the celebrity is" with programs like The Chase, Drop Zone and Catch Phrase? I usually do OK because if I'm stumped I say Eastenders. I think we are moving over to "Popular" rather than "Unpopular Opinions" now. So.......... "Influencer" is a worthwhile, well respected and a very much needed occupation and is also really hard work. it is in no way just a means to avoid getting a job like going to uni was before the big hike in tuition fees. My Wrangler jeans with holes in them from general wear and tear are not fashionable but jeans you buy with holes in them are.....or not...I'm not sure now.

It's a scone (rhymes with bone) and not a scone (rhymes with gone) and the cream goes first because you don't put the meat on first and then the butter/marg when you make a sandwich/butty/sarnie/filled roll etc. etc.
It's also envelope like end and enlighten not onvelope or it would be spelt onvelope. There is no "r" in castle so it's castle as in rhymes with hassle.
You wouldn't wash your hands and face in a large cow like creature with horns (a bison) but you might in a basin. This one came from a lad from London that started at my Junior school in about 1973 and the teachers took the pizz out of him. They would be sacked in 2021. Although throwing board rubber at our heads was probably worse.

Someone woke up one morning and thought “grey joggy bottoms and black leather shoes. White socks too. Yeah that is the look I want” Decision whether to tuck the trousers into the socks or not is the hard bit 🤔 Popular in some parts, but not all !
