Bicycle Tag of bike

Right, I remember torturing basset jelly babies to annoy you as you annoyed me. But can't remember why you annoyed me.

Reality of the situation is that as long as the game moves in who cares, my comment was aimed at will in a playful manor, I hope.

Fucking hate cycling in shitty rain and grey as it drains my soul. The world in mono tone gets to me, along with poor quality drivers. Especially as a petrol head.

I've already got a picture of the old tag but forgot to take a new picture last night when I was inside the circulars ffs

Old: Second Home co-working office space on the site of the old Morley Hall theatre on the corner of Westgate/Mare Street.

New: my nerves turned to jelly as I tried to post this without getting tagzumped!

Jelly as in eels?

In my haste, I confused legs and nerves, but yes, eels, as per photo 32!

Nice, do you develop your own film?

Snappysnaps all the way! I used to when I was a kid and a bit at uni, but only black and white. This was a test roll after I repaired the light seals in an old Pentax, which only took me 3 years to get round to doing.

So nice

Always wondered if there’d ever been a film bike tag, or if it was possible. Great work!

This is awesome.
Perhaps I will venture out with a wax tablet and a stylus to get the next one...

Do it!

OLD: Hipster's Choice spectacles on Broadway Market.

NEW: This was sort of done 9 years ago. The theme is similar.

As it looked in the original tag.

I heard about this place at an excellent John Rogers talk about the Black Path, a medieval droving route from Walthamstow through London Fields, Broadway Market, Colombia Road etc. The Cooke and Manze family (from Italy) were the two main pioneers of jellied eels/pie and mash shops in London, even connected by marriage at one point too. A lot of the original tiling and windows still remain despite its second life as an optician's.

The architectural critics have something to say on the matter:

That's great. They kept far more of the original features than I thought.

As if you still needed to know more about the Porters' Route. :)

Your memory is excellent Oliver. Well, the oddest thing I found out at the talk was the path was surprisingly popular with Welsh sheep drovers, which, geographically speaking, doesn't make a lot of sense. It may have had something to do with the toll road network and that it was cheaper to avoid the more direct routes in through west London. There were other little nuggets of info too which may turn into future tags.

Half a clue.

Yes! I got it. Although no motivation to ride there :( Will try on Monday if not gone by then

Old - some lovely stepped brickwork on Ivy Street

New - the educational establishment for the centre of UK government?

I have the new one, but….. I think those are two different bikes? Does this mean previous tag still stands?

😨🤷🏼‍♂️

fuck that, it's the end times.
let the clue stand and let's tag as much as we can before it's over.

Does make you wonder if a tagging forum could survive as a standalone ...
