Oh yes, and yesterday I received a Magistrates Court Summons for non-payment of council tax. Which is on the face of it not the nicest way for Tower Hamlets to remind me I really ought to claim back my council tax overpayment from them (seems they'd lost any record of my moving out of the borough) but it's still pleasant to think I have a few extra quid that I'd forgotten about. So, I'm thinking "turbo trainer", on the grounds that (a) for indoor training, well, it's that or a slideboard and nobody I know with a slideboard has ever mentioned that they actually use it, (b) my choice of music is bound to be better than anyone else's spinning class, (c) even if I don't use it regularly for actual training, at least it'd be useful for getting the !@#$ing derailleur indexing right...

(And I never thought I'd say this, but kudos to LB Tower Hamlets for replying to my email within 24 hours of it being sent. Certainly beats Hackney's 3 week lag)
