Then get at least hydraulic rim brakes.

Guys, my brakes are fine. LX V brakes, you set them up then forget about them for ages, they're plenty powerful unless caked in mud, which this bike never is. The rear rim is ceramic D121 and has lasted 20 years so far, the front one has 5 years, it's not a touring bike, it's a shopping bike, I was just asking about a stiffer frame.
Anyway, good shout @Tijs, I think the LHT might be quite similar geo to my current bike, hopefully a steeper HT, and probably more common 2nd hand than a Sherpa.

No, already have a bombproof rear wheel and SON dynohub front that have lasted 20/10 years so far and will do that again easy. Also I hate this attitude of just buying shit because it's new and cheap. The bike works perfectly well in all department other than the frame (and even there I'm being picky, it's rad other than when fully loaded). Anyway, when did you become such a disc evangelist?
