Or it couldn’t. Depends really. It could be anything at all in those bottles if there were any to begin with that is.

 

what on earth have I got to take to heart? 

Grow a set and say you don’t believe me.

 

Then I can respond up to you.

 

Don’t take it to heart.

Thought it was pretty obvious I don’t believe you. Does that mean I have grown a set now?

Yes but as you said before it may not have been cider

I don’t care, it’s entirely up to you if you believe me or not.

 

That’s the thing about anecdotes.

 

You’re local cycling club is super friendly and the local countryside is fabulous for cycling.

I didn’t intend to make you care. Just pointing out I did not believe you.

What’s that got to do with me not drinking cider? 
 

I don’t drink cider, I often buy the Guardian when in the UK and I have never wrapped the Guardian around a bottle of any alcoholic drink, let alone one that I can’t stand the taste of.

 

 I have far too much respect for the Guardian to do such a thing.

Oh do lighten up. I see you have a great sense of humor with so much respect for the Guardian. It is a great prop for alcoholics to hide their bottles

I don’t necessarily believe you have a house in Banbury, but it’s a trifling matter that I simply can’t be bothered to spend time on.

 

That’s the thing with personal statements and anecdotes, they are not verifiable.

 

That is the only thing that can honestly said of them is they are not verifiable.

Ok cool. It’s just down the road from the Sainsburys nearest town, in walking distance actually, no push bike needed. They sell cider and the Guardian to.

Oxfordshire.

 

 

 

 

 

I have only witnessed similar events in Scotland - where there is arguably a stronger daytime drinking culture.

Excellent.

 

I’ll agree with you on one thing, Oxfordshire is a very varied county.

 

I bought my first house in Goring on Thames’ I lived living there, and again fabulous cycling country.

 

Thank you for promoting g sine happy memories.

Due to the country’s strict alcohol laws

Scottish regulations prevent the sale of alcohol in shops between 10pm and 10am.

Yep. That's strict. Alcohol sales for only 12 hrs a day.  Thailand sales for only 10 hrs. a day. This isn't strict it's insane.

Send them to Chiang Mai, please.

 

Thank you.

I didn’t know there was more than one.

 

It was near the town center (ish), I’m not a resident of Banbury and never have been so that’s as good a location as I can recall.

 

Are you feeling home sick or is there a some other point to all these questions? 

 

Refer above for location of cycle race course.

 

   Were they drinking Tyskie ?
