Bicycle Clips ?

[anneasquith]

where have they gone to ?

[heathfield]

Not among the gentry, Sandy! ;-)

[sandyRoe]

Wouldn't the gentry have a little man from the village to come and do it for them?

[tonyav]

They most certainly would, sandy, I'm sure he would have cycled up to the big house with his bicycle clips ready fitted.

[anneasquith]

would he have a cap to doff ?

[tonyav]

But of course, anne.

[sandyRoe]

A cap isn't strictly necessary as long as he had a forelock to tug.

Does anyone remember the TV advert where the wrinkled old retainer(A nod of acknowledgement here to Sir Henry of Rawlinson End) feared he was for the sack but in reality the toffs bought him a new sit-on grass mower?

[tonyav]

Yes I remember that advert, sandy.

[sandyRoe]

Just goes to show that noblesse oblige isn't totally gone

Wonder if anyone ever invented a bicycle driven mower? Bit like fitting blades to a chariot wheel. In the Yorkshire Dales a bit of bailer twine would do the bicycle clip job
