Loved this! ‘Popped out to see who the dog’s consuming’ made me lol, plus I like the description of you having a good neb 😂

The bit of this story that resinates is the couple and their conversation plus abuse. Many a time I've sat in cafes in foreign countries and listened to similar things but Iv'e had to guess what it was all about

I think I can hear the madness of the lonesome cyclist hovering

You're right there Ben. And a few other madnesses beyond, especially on Day 5...

Judicious use of dream material, there. Why would the lonesome bike rider not dream of his friends? (See Ben's comment...) But what you don't disclose is whether you yourself are a fan of pizza or not.

And it looks like you discovered the second best thing to come out of Sleaford. Though, strictly speaking, I suppose, the Sleaford Mods aren't actually from there.

Sleaford Mods could/should have been the soundtrack...
