    Finally made it to Lidl. Next time, I know to get there at
    9am on the day of the sale. There wasn't a whole lot left,
    and what there was looked like a bomb-site; stuff
    everywhere, out of the packets.

    I bought

    1) The handlebar cooler-bag. It's pretty crappy, but it was
    only £3 and it will come in handy for carrying a bottle
    of drink, some chocolate, and my phobile moan.

    2) A jersey. I had wanted an ordinary one, in tasteful
    red, grey, and black, but they were sold out. So I got
    a vile-orange "mountain bike" jersey. Not sure what
    makes it an MTB jersey, but it seems pretty nice.
    Haven't worn it in anger, but it can't be any worse
    than cotton at keeping me dry.

    3) A coolmax t-shirt. XL, rather than XXL like the jersey,
    and a bit too tight. I think I'll wait until I've lost
    some weight.

    4) The jacket. Seems ok. Also XL, also a little small, but
    wearable. Can't imagine it will keep any rain out, but as
    long as it keeps the wind out, I'll be happy.

    They were out of shorts and tights, though.

    I've also been playing with Memory Map. Amongst other
    things, I found out why my journey down to Nantgarw Road
    always seems harder than the journey back, despite being
    downhill. It's actually uphill. I know it's stupid, on
    reflection, but because it goes down the valley, I assumed
    it was downhill. Of course, it's not on the valley floor,
    it's halfway up the side, and isn't remotely constrained by
    the direction of the valley. Duh.

    I got a jacket- but a small one, and it is fine, in fact, I
    would say it is brilliant, for the price. XL? I am over
    weight at 11st 10! I also thought the coolmax socks for
    £1.49 were the bargain of the week!

    I didn't get a jacket, but got some pairs of socks in the
    right sizes, and three cycle computers .. 19 function,
    Wireless, Solar powered for £4.99 - unbelievable .. for me
    and my kids bikes. They have about 10 left but only in
    Silver, I think I got the last Black ones .. 😉

    The last jacket went out while I was walking in .. with a
    chap carrying armsfull of cycling stuff, such as the
    briefcase panniers and bag tooolkits, I think he had about
    10 of each, which is either being a tad greedy, or he's
    selling 'em off elsewhere ..

    I've seen Tchibo's £4 sunglasses for sale on ebay for £5.

    Mmm, a crappy handlebar bag, a vile colour jersey, a t shirt
    that's too tight and a slightly too small jacket that's not
    waterproof.

    So your pleased with your purchase then?

    It serves its purpose admirably well. It's just not all that
    impressive, but for £3, I'm happy.

    'vile-orange'. I quite like the colour, but I have little
    taste in these regards.

    Something to aim for! When I lose a stone, they'll fit
    lovely.

    Ah, it might be. I've not tried.

    I am, actually. They were something like £23, and I was
    expecting to have to pay that for just a jersey. The jacket
    and t-shirt will be great once I've lost some weight.

    I've seen Tchibo's £4 sunglasses for sale on ebay for £5.

    I can beat that. I wasn't sure which size of Tchibo's £4.99
    gloves to buy so I got both and used eBay to sell the ones
    that didn't. I got £11.00 for them (plus £2.95 for p&p).
    Much better than getting £4.99 back form Tchibo if I'd sent
    them back. PhilO

    That's great then! Don't forget to post when they fit, I'll
    celebrate by opening a beer with you! Good luck.
