Did you say iced buns? Any spare? Are they the Chelsea bun variety?

imjingl You did the right thing. Our nearest M&S is a mere 100 miles...and I only have a second hand exercise bike that remains static no matter how hard I peddle 
I would have pressed on, jingle! House of Fraser or not! And even if there isn't such a word as 'drownded' it does make it sound even wetter..and messier....
Oh God, I'm having a thread on my own again. 4 posts already and only me. 
I meant 
there.
Is there such a word as drownded?
It was a very quick trip. I decided I couldn't take the drownded rat look round House of Fraser or John Lewis.
................after a fairly dry morning, suddenly decided you really needed something nice for your lunch, and got your bike out, only to find when approximately three yards down the road the wind got up and the heavens opened with a really cold, driving rain, would you:
a. Press on regardless, with thoughts of M&S old fashioned white crusty bread, on-the-vine Rosa tomatos, and iced chelsea buns, as encouragement.
or
b. Turn back and make do with Hovis wholemeal sliced and Waitrose half-fat cheese.
Good mac, no gloves, stupid footwear. ()
You can guess which I did. And halfway along the river towpath I just wanted to get off the bike, stand very still, and HOWL!!! It was sooo cold and sooo wet!
It was the right decision in the end though.
Lunch was very nice.
