Iains - we already realised that about you..

My dad did get on his bike.. literally..

In his late 50s, on his 1950s bike, cyling miles up and down the busy dangerous dual carriage way in all weathers and seasons
seeking any kind of employer that would accept an aging unqualified factory worker with a history of active trades unionism..

He finally found one in a shite evil hot metal casting factory with no care or compassion for it's workers..
The much younger under educated thuggish workers on the shop floor treated him cruelly as a laughing stock,
and management dismissively told him like it or lump it.
..the total opposite of the relatively benign factory that he had spent most of his working life devoted to.

This daily exhausting cycling, and harsh hostile factory work conditions and macho bully management ethos rapidly hastened his physical and mental decline....

So don't worry Inanes..
you and your kind of toryism serve a purpose to strengthen my resolve & resilience, and focus my resistance..

thanks...
