A question for Island dwellers off the mainland?
Nurse Julie:
It's a 'Twitten' on the Kent / East Sussex border. It's a mixture of betwix and between, and twicen and twitches.
Orcade-Ian:
Wait til you get asked to meet someone 'the Morn's Morn' or 'next night'. Or you are a 'wee yap o'shite' and must be 'blootered' cos your breeks are 'ootside in'
A simple Yorkshireman, saving hard to become a Scotsman!
Honda enthusiast:
Great 😃👍 isn't it , if we were all the same and spoke the same, how boring it would be....I must admit I love diversity in people, there's always one donkey but people are mostly appealing 😊

Still a tidal causeway, Ted, 'the Strood'. 40 minutes to the hospital, when the tide's out!
The tide tends to be over one and a half hours a day, every other week. Not too bad if you remember to check the tide table. But, it means a salty 1/2 mile is involved on most rides. So I'm a regular bike washer and buy ACF50 in bulk!

Interesting that some of the EV and hybrid cars are now back on drum rear brakes, it seems for demand and corrosion consideration.
Low use with regeneration strategies, causing no cleaning at expected levels particularly rear brake provision.
VW ID 3 notable amongst volume producers doing this. There's quite some forum / yt action around it in Scandinavian market.
