I had that set up on a Stock Car in the 70's with a Ford cam chain and gears. 2 to 1 steering took some getting used to and the chain fell off now and then.

I tried to ignore  Covid and travelled whenever possible. On one of my returns I later felt I was down on my money, but couldn't find it, or remember why or how.

I decided I'd spent it somehow and over the next 3 years forgot all about it.

I've just found a grand in an old bag!

I now recall coming home early because curfews in Spain.  I saved £500, by paying accommodation in 2 halves, plus £500 spending money.

I feel another holiday coming on.

Noticed a company name on a plumber's van just now: Leak-Enders. Made me smile, anyway.

+1 for Halfords

@LightBulbFun mentioned their sucky-sucky mobile phone holder.
£11.99 with free (3 day) delivery over £20 spend. So, yesterday evening I order one for us and one for La Sproglette (tightwads like me can buy a Halfords Gift Card for the exact amount via TopCashBack and get 6% cashback. No big deal here but if you are buying a big item?).
DHL guy has just dropped them off at the front door. Really well packed - impressive.

I've had a few of those, the ball always seems to snap off the socket.

 

I have a couple of these now, they are two years old which is a record..
