My experience is that they are very slow. The goods arrived but it took at least a couple of weeks. This is so poor compared to other online sellers that you get the impression that they don't really want that sort of business. I always buy in person nowadays, which is easier than it used to be now that they have a Leeds store.
I don't know whether Decathlon offer 'click and collect', but I was put off this when I found that Evans Cycles (who also have a store not far from me) make a charge if you collect the item yourself, which seems unreasonable!

Hmm! Unattributed source . The Grauniad?
Curious expression "suspended the whip from". Wrapping it round his neck might have been better.

Re: .... which organisations/charities might use upright adult trikes?
Thanks to both for your helpful suggestions.
After Nearholmer's post I did a search which turned up 'Streetbikes' (among others), and it was helpful to have emleyman to back this up.
I've passed this info on, via an intermediary, to the person with the trike. Will let you know if I hear how things go.

.... which organisations/charities might use upright adult trikes?
I know of someone who has a Pashley adult trike - like this:
They would like it to 'go to a good home', and are currently wanting about £50 for it **. Is this the sort of thing that voluntary bodies/old people's homes etc might be looking for? (Or perhaps it would be a useful n+1 for a stately Sunday afternoon amble down the prom ? ).
Any suggestions who to approach, please? Available in West Yorks area.
**ETA - might be negotiable

Re: English Language - what "Does your head in" ??
I share your frustration. This is perhaps an example of the Humpty Dumpty philosophy of language where "a word means what I want it to mean, no more, no less".Jdsk wrote: ↑24 Jan 2024, 11:21am We've got a "one bad apple" thread. I learnt this as a proverbial description based on one bad apple causing all of the others in the barrel to rot.
It's now sometimes used to mean "there's only one bad one, all of the others are OK". Which is just about the opposite.
The history:

This seems to lose a valuable and admirably concise concept.

While we may hope that others will share a community understanding of meaning, we can only remain eternally vigilant to ensure that what is being said/written is unambiguous. Politics comes to mind

Cleethorpes is also on the Greenwich meridian, and is mighty proud of the fact
Hmm! The photo is the right way up in my photos app, but despite rotating it every which way, it insists on toppling over in my post! I'm afraid you'll just have to list to starboard to look at it. Or wait for Jonathan to give it a nudge

I really hope that, come the General Election, there'll be a majority vote to scrap all the rest of the tory ministers, including the PM.

Re: UK Politics
I guess Jonathan's point is that only 19% of tories are prepared to insist that the messages are truly beyond recall, and that 58% think that Sunak is being less than straightforward about this (ie he is effectively lying). This did surprise me somewhat.

OK for me (up until 2 days ago, at least) when using downloaded routes via Apple TV. I try to avoid direct streaming because it has sometimes caused freezing in the past. Not ideal, I know .....
