Nah, they’re just reading the opening times on the door to see when they can pop in for a sneaky port and lemon.
Lazy sods. Who's doing the mangling?

I know their building was demolished for Sainsbury’s building but does anyone know what happened to Cox Ltd?

A slight twist on old places but I thought interesting- Why our old football ground got its name, the Goldstone - the “Godstone” - dug up and moved in 1906 to Hove Park

Look at that bike on the left, parked against the kerb. We all used to do that in the old days - push the pedal down against the top of the kerb for support and turn the front wheel in slightly for balance. I can't remember the last time I saw a bike parked up like that. Also the woman on the right holding a bike; does anyone now ever wear normal, everyday clothes for cycling?
Viaduct Rd, surely?
I often get Bobkin Jnr's bike out of the garage when he's running late for school (if you class school uniform as 'everyday clothes' then that answers your second questions; plus I see countless commuters and other cyclist who are lycra-free) and lean it up against the garden wall like that (not on the road – too busy and/or it would probs get hit or nicked).Look at that bike on the left, parked against the kerb.
