I used to do that too soo, I was always hopeless at it but I enjoyed it, it is fun.
The rain held off here for the Senior TT, the grande finale of the fortnight. They started early to avoid rain forecast for this afternoon and all was done and dusted by lunchtime, so not much opportunity for junk food but I did manage to pick up a kipper bap for breakfast. Locally smoked in Peel.

Having endured kipper-induced food poisoning, I loathe all kippers. I just have this irrational desire to speak up for my county, Gus. I know.

Good grief no! Kippers are a big thing in IoM, and have been almost since forever - at one time herring fishing pretty much fed the entire population. We even have a kipper museum.
I’ll, er, bear that in mind. In case I ever disagree with you or anything.

That would put one off.
Going to see the smokeries in Arbroath was one of the things we were always going to do and never did.

Nothing irrational about that, it is a very beautiful county, probably my favourite in England. I fully intend to visit again when I get the chance.

Thank you. I am British, but Northumbrian first, as my family roots are firmly planted in the soil around here. (Enough, already Ed.)
