Queue find a tax office if I can try to get the vat back on my bromton which was about 6,000 Rand which wasn’t a small amount of cash you it was a fairly substantial worth a while standing the que job but yeah they never actually worked out as you will see tomorrow they

I don’t seem to have any tax offices in England I don’t know if that’s on purpose I don’t have to pay you back everyone kept saying to me no no no when you leave France you can claim your vet back for for England but yeah I think

That was just a story to try to get rid of me but anyway tomorrow off to France and yeah sad to be leaving England but very excited to be going to France so I think it’s going to be excit it’s going to be good it’s going to be good it’s

Get on that fairy now man thanks for watching guys check you later

  1. some people who walk with there dogs along pathways/cycleways combined don't like it when you ping your bell to let them know you are coming up behind them even when its done for safety reasons. some may appear to be offended by a bikes presence near to them.

    some are ok but like that guy in this video who held his arms out on the path. i tend to receive funny little comments at times. some dog walkers don't like bike riders I'm convinced. when passing them most carefully i have received sarcastic comments about bikes riders such as if i had the power i would ban bike from everywhere.

    this is the reason why i am going to buy a timber bell 3.0 its similar to a cow bell but its for bikes and it has a function to turn it off and on. its basically a tiny cow bell for bikes and watching a demo of it on YT helps stop any negative comment from dog walkers coming your way.

  2. benefits of owning a Brompton is you take it with you almost anyplace including the shower lol but for the peace of mind having a bike that is always in your presence in front of you foldered is great knowing its not chained up outside worrying if someone will steal it from you.

  3. Best mods I did to my Brompton.
    Ergon GP3 grips… Far comfier than the standard grips.
    39 Teeth chain ring… Bromptons are far to high geared for the open road, and even the 44T option is a tad high.
    Brooks saddle, but we all know that.
    MKS Ezy pedals with half toe clips. Other than the obvious these have other advantages. It's far harder to pinch with no pedals, and any bike is easier to push without pedals as you can keep the skin on your shins.
    Marathon plus tyres also help, wacked up to 120psi.
