I decided to make the most of the nice weather the other day and went for a cycle around the local lake. It was reasonably warm so I put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and off I went.

I've never felt so over dressed in my life!

Every knuckle-dragger under the sun had descended upon the place and in their excitement, had obviously forgotten to put on any clothes.

I was treated to a dazzling array of 'Eng-er-land' tattoos, unusual amounts of body fat and the apparent social acceptance of 'supervising' feral offspring while listening to tinny council music played as loud as their phone would let them, while swigging lager from a can and indulging in one or two 'Jazz cigarettes' for good measure.

I do enjoy the summer time!

I don't get the whole shirt off thing when it's hot; unless at the beach or an outdoor pool, pop a light coloured T-shirt on and you will be cooler than if you were topless.

It's always the men that shouldn't be topless that go topless; fat or terribly skinny and very pale with bright red shoulders and back; nothing to show off at all.

One assumes they're trying to change that

Although I agree it would be better for everyone if they could do that in the relative privacy of their communal gardens

To be fair, a muscular bronzed chap would look like a posing try-hard ponce.

Just wear a sodding T-shirt.

Walking into a petrol station, handing a note over, saying the pump number and walking off all within 5 seconds. That package is extremely low class!

well on the subject of death, covering a grave with the contents of a poundshop.

glittery shiney things, photos, toys, spining windmills, football scarves, lanterns and then taking to the local media and obviously moronbook when people say they don't want to pay their respects next the the contents of a bargain bin.

Just re a post further back : I've witnessed parents teaching true children how to swear and being proud.

Anyway: we did this perhaps 100 pages back but quad bikes

Now tis the weather for the helmet free, shirtless or vest adorned to be travelling in packs of 10-20 , whipping in and out of traffic , popping wheelies et al.

Of course when Kyle Zak Jayden Logan Mckenzie or Ahmed kills himself, he'll turn out to be a yoof with a bright future , was looking forward to getting an "f" in GCSE tracksuit wearing and general thuggery and leaves a daughter called chanterelle bobbie sharmarley behind.

Then queue the roadside shrine of dead flowers.

I think that's another for both ends of the spectrum.

Chav/Council: Don't give a toss about anybody in the queue, and no credit/debit card so using the cash from being on the game/dodgy fags/thieving etc
Aristocrat: I don't wish to have to associate with these people and it's the quickest way to be in and out.

I think the implication is that they have filled their tank to a specific value rather than just brimming it and paying the £78.27 or other awkward amount they just drop a tenner on the desk and turn on their heels.

Usually it's a 20 or a 10. Never seen it happen with more than 30 on the line.

I think we're thinking about different people.

I'm talking about the type with a 1990s Subaru Legacy estate that's seen many better days, a dog that's half dead in the passenger seat, refuses to deal in anything but cash, only puts £10 because that's all they have in their pocket. But also happens to own half of Yorkshire and spent the weekend shooting grouse.

Old money. I love people like that. Don't give a toss what they look like or what others think. Real class and natural manners.

Paying in cash with a very crumpled up note. Never from a wallet just stuffed in their pocket.
