    @MetaPhysical I was going to hang on to about now but went in April, much the same as you, I just had enough. My busy day has involved watching the Tour de France
    Yay.  I'd have done the same if Eurosport hadn't been dropped!  TNT is much more expensive so I have been watching it on ITV4 and blasting through the interminable ads.

    Indeed, I am thinking of handing in my notice in September/October with a view that I retire at Xmas.
    I get it ‘free’ with my BT Broadband luckily.

    If you don't move anything, and don't write in it, most people are unaware of the dust most of the time!!

    Then you should have plenty of time to dust that TV stand!  :joy:
    You are not incorrect
    The TV induces a slight electrostatic charge that attracts dust.  That's my excuse anyway 😆

    ..Pogacar is doing brilliantly.  What a ride on the Hautacam. When I've retired I'd like a small campavan and to follow The Tour and The Giro.  I'll wear a lime green mankini at the side of the road with a Union Jack flag 😆

    Shockingly an old school friend wore the exact same outfit a few years ago at the Tour. He posted a pic on our WhatsApp group. I erased it instantly but unfortunately the image isn’t easily forgotten 🤢
