This one reminds me of some Bicycle Tag of Bike clues (probably some of mine too over the years) where the easy bit is the answer, but understanding the clue takes longer.

Nice one.
So it was the little plaque on the brick house that's relevant here.

On the site of the school was the world's first food canning factory in 1812, initially selling preserved meat to the Navy. Next time you crack open a can of beans, this is where it all started.

That's extremely kind and very Forum, but a neighbour has donated an old Halfords trailer which is just fine for us. Thank you though.

I meant that it's happened again. It seems to have been in response to the sentencing. Same painting again and another one. Not sure how much they endeared themselves to the public the last time, so this is an interesting move if it is to work. Presumably they want as long a sentence as possible to make their point?

Not a good day to be a Van Gogh sunflower painting again

For luggage capacity, you can beat a trailer. They are very stable, you can remove it when you don't need it and you can bung a lot of stuff in there

No means of attaching a front rack to your current one for panniers? Tubus Tara needs eyelets on the forks but I think others don't. Only achieves 1 out of 4 requirements, but might be a simple solution.

Sounds very much like it, last time it was seen was Friday night, last time I saw it Friday afternoon.

Interesting, with or without its yellow cover?

Completely failed yesterday, but 3 under today

Not valuable but my tatty old Burley bike trailer was stolen last Tuesday from the front garden.

I've since seen it being ridden around the Stratford area with the cover removed and the seating ripped out. It's the same guy who has appeared on all the Ring doorbell footage from a string of recent thefts in the area. It looks like he's now using it to cart around stolen stuff, but his target area looks like it has just expanded.

Just a reminder basically not to leave parcels etc on doorsteps Stratford/Forest Gate area, and keep bikes locked really securely if outside. He managed to steal a bike by forcing the railings out of the front wall from a neighbour's house too and lead off the roof of another neighbour.

Edit TIL it is tyger.

Oh yes, so it is.

To save you a little wasted effort, the bus is not on its normal scheduled route for this afternoon. It's nearish to it, but not enough I would say to be much use, if I have understood these bus geeks properly.

Further clue:
Tyger tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the (park where they climb trees, sharing its name with the road where this is to be found)

Pithy

Edit: as is pointed out, the original poem is Tyger, but for the purposes of this tag, it's got nothing to do with Blake; it was just the only thing I knew about this park.

Probably too late now, but you can now see my current potato skills proudly on display

Ha! It was a numberless bus and I underestimated the clarity of my lens!

Old: the Grove DIY skate park, near Dulwich

New: from half pipes to full cylinders

Clue: beer, beans and beef?

Smart phone addiction. Trying different ways to cut down, and was entertaining the idea of a Nokia 6310 as a crude way of still using WhatsApp app on the move. Even that is no longer an option as Kai OS and WhatsApp are no longer friends. Also, having a half decent camera and maps in your pocket does have advantages. So it really comes down to sticking with a smartphone and making it a bit less attractive.
One thing I'm trying is turning it to greyscale, an idea from the Mac thread. For Androids, you can do it through Accessibility settings, Colour and Motion, at least from Android 13 and up. 11 doesn't have that option as far as I can see, not sure about 12.
Anyone else tried it? Turned it on yesterday, let's see how long it lasts!

True!

Use word search too to check for past tags. It's been a while since the map was updated

Also the light around you. I got different results on the same screen with the cosy light, and then with the big light. And then outside in twilight, but that was on a different screen.

I'm on the lookout for cheapo front wheels (rim brake), nothing fancy. One to get an old Giant hybrid working again, another for a kids bike. Both wheels were stolen, boo!
Based in Stratford but happy to travel.

I've been given a cold smoker and itching to try, but I've been waiting until it's a bit colder outside. What's a good, fairly safe, meaty option or am I best to start with cheese/veg?

Distraught 😩
