This is what the locals think of all the individuals on bikes who decided to congregate where all the individuals on bikes usually meet when there isnt a contagious disease that can kill you by drowning in your own lungs

When I was in Matlock bath there were maybe 20 to 25 bikes. Most important half of the on street parking was coned off with sticks and string linking the cones.

The newspaper showed all parking in use. So, either the cones have been removed or the newspaper has just printed a stock picture of bikes parked in Matlock Bath.

It seems locals everywhere have been scared to death. The news has shown footage from Mexico where hospital workers are being attacked for leaving the hospitals carrying the virus. A young woman doctor had bleach poured over her head. If this virus eradicates the human infestation of this planet it could be a much improved planet.

It's difficult to find companions who ride the way you ride on any given spur of the moment,plus bikes never were about the social thing for me anyway.

Yes, I'm a grumpy antisocial old git too

I wonder where the mickey mouse string and strips of wood joining them went. I hope it wasn't the bikers doing it. There is the possibility of shopkeepers doing it, they must be desperate for cash.

I must confess, when I went and bought an ice cream cone I was thinking "am I doing the right thing here ?" as it was made and handed to me. Are her hands clean ? And worse, "we don't have contactless payment" so she handled my coins and gave me change.

But what delicious rum and raisin ice cream.

Food to die for !

I'm reliably informed,the term is 'asocial'. Antisocial behaviour is liable to result in a collar feel,while being asocial or misanthropic more apt describes ourselves.

That twat moth is off today,so I'm the reserve language police.

During that period Ive had just about zero interest in milling about at biker meets and a global pandemic isn't making them more attractive.

I've been not meeting up from signing up to VD, through TRC and now to here. Would I qualify to join that club?

How do stand on dropped "T"s or if you want to be posh, t-glottalling ?

It drives me mad and seems to be increasing all the time.
