Fortunately the matching sparkly hot pants survived and are still worn by Ernest on high days and holidays and at Pride gatherings.
Just bought a bloody bike on a Gilbert Baitson auction for £100 plus vat and fees and then realised its not what I thought it was and I've probably paid more than the thing is worth second hand. Did manage to get a lovely Cube bike though for a bargain price of £190 plus vat and fees, a swingball set for the garden and a great set of pans. Still well up on the deal.
