well i bought enough ingredients for thee people to be fair:
herb salad (2 bags)
2 long red peppers (blackened and skinned)
punnet of cherry tomatoes
big-ish pack free range chicken fillets (grilled with lemon and pepper)
roquefort cheese
walnuts
red onion
little bit of dressing of olive oil and balsamic
i may have bought a few basics as well like bread and milk but i distinctly remember thinking "fuck me. that's a £9 salad!"
it was good though.
i tend to agree with scott in that it's nice to be able to buy like that. but most of us can't afford to go down that route all the time. i certainly can't anyway. a lot of times cost and urgency (like i need a bike now!) play a big part. luckily there is a pretty broad range of OTP bikes to suit most needs and pockets these days. i bought a genesis flyer last year which has done fine for me but i'm doubt my next bike will be OTP. i won't say i'll never buy OTP again. needs change man.
