That was the other one. (Yeah they're all the same)

I have a recollection of some old Doris going round the local town on one.

Honda NV50 Stream thing.

Yeah, I remember those Streams....Co-incidentally we also had a village Doris who used to ride one, complete with obligatory Derri-boots. Beaulieu had a couple of Ariel 3s as estate hacks, one of the fellas was about 8* ft tall and looked particularly amusing on the wire-basketed orange thing. Last time I saw them they were mouldering in the shrubbery, strange fate in a motor museum grounds....

Why wouldn't you microwave your own pizza just to avoid such abominations on the road?

I would rather deep fry a paste of every half-open jar in our cupboard and serve it on stale bread than order a fucking take-away.

Me too. Amazingly, despite my road having been in a terrible mess a lot of last year, the folks that live further down from me order takeouts. That's 9 miles from the joint that produces them, I'd imagine they're cold by the time they arrive.

If I was delivering them I would be keeping a CR500 or similar MX bike for deliveries involving a trip down your road

Needs painting too.
