Today we met Suzy (other spellings of this name are available) outside Spar. Conversation was free flowing and the tale of my cockle and broken pannier was soon relayed.
Later that afternoon Suzy appeared with the clips from their pannier to replace my broken ones. Suzy took my broken clips and reusable cable tie as their tour is finished. Yay for Suzy. The world needs more Suzys.
P.S. then we spent some hours in the pub together…
