That I can relate to Jack.

Thanks, just arrived in pieces Friday.Bob I like your bike. Thanks for the Market Report Jack. I’m only up to the late 1950’s in the Ted book. It is a deep dive into Tedism. So far no mention of Tool Man yet. But he was probably just an untattooed hungry pudgy baby with hooligan tendencies at that time. Uh-oh that sounds like me now except I’m tattooed. I could be Tool Man’s doppelgänger. I want a donut…

Every October day without rain is a bonus in England, so I've had a fairly good day, despite the market being dead as a doornailTool Man was pleased with his book, and with the doughnuts, and we had some good crack. Nobber Al was there, as was Ex-Para Steve, who said he'd woken up at 4.30am, and decided to come down early, after he'd taken the dog for a walk. The long-suffering Perfume Fatties were there, but a few of the other traders had knocked. The Tool Stall regulars are in equally short supply these days, and only Gravel and Harry Hotballs made brief appearances (though I did see Slimline Scott after I left). An occasional visitor is Ken, who was a gaffer at a famous Leeds tank factory, and who walks around in shorts and sandals whatever the weather. When he said he had recently spent 4 nights in hospital, I asked if he'd had frostbite!

Trade was very slow, and I don't think Tool Man had a single sale in the 3 or 4 hours I was there. Wolfie got tied up with work, so I decided to have lunch on my own, going to the West African stall we'd been to last week. I had some Mafe, rice, and plaintain, with a homemade ginger and lime drink, and was given a delicious complimentary pastry, with an onion sauce, and a small cup of lemongrass teaI picked up some bread, and headed home, calling in the chemist for my flu-jab, and chatting to the young Syrian pharmacist, who has just returned from a month's trip around Europe, which sounded like a great adventure
I hope everyone is having a good day

Thanks Steve.Great looking Bike !![]()
I read about 4/5 of it Kurt, then handed it over to Tool Man. Yeah, lot of detail there, I thought it read a bit like accemedic research. One visit to the tool stall, and the author would have had a better book! Despite appearing to have crawled out of the Primordial swamps of Yorkshire, Tool Man wasn't actually born until 1959! He has managed to fit a new tattoo into the fading mess of blue ink, that makes him look like a road map of Great Britain - it is the make of his latest vanBob I like your bike.
