I'm going to guess GP4S.
Dammit! Guessed before turning the page. Wrong, yet again. 🤣
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I don't think GPS-whatevers develop that yellow fluff on the tyre walls that Gatorskins do.

Maybe not but I had 2 GP4S tyres tread split and delaminate similar to your photo when fairly new.
Never bought them again even though I had years of good sets before. Dodgy batch possibly but off-putting.

Ah! I see it now. Very similar to GP4S that I have on the commuter/winter bike and the GP GT on the summer bike. Both looking a bit perished. Cost of replacing these is more than my 205/55 R16 tyres on my car!!!
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Yeah, I've been trying out Amazon Fincci tyres, which are £42 for a pair, and TBH they aren't bad at all. Might be different if I were racing, but buying tyres for £50 each that only have a couple of mm of tread before needing replacing is silly.

That's why I stopped buying GP4S. The tread was cracking and coming away from the carcass long before I wore them out, which in view of the now stupid price didn't seem like very good value for money to a Yorkshireman.
Michelin Pro various on the summer bike and Vittoria Rubino Pro on the winter. None of them seem to be suffering the same fate...

I thought that my being honest and telling my insurance company (NFU Mutual) that, having seen more underneath the render, maybe 50% of my walls were cob would mean a hike in my premiums.
No change. Hurrah. 😃

You take the easy road then Rick. Surely its not just the rich, its people with big houses and big pensions?
Good attempt at lazy leftie stereotyping though.

It almost cheers me up that the weather for the 15k-strong Ardechoise sportive today was even worse than the weather in Devon.

The last 3 afternoons in the Picos for me were like this..except I didn't take photos when it was lashing down, hail, thunder and lightning.
On the other hand, we did get this most of the time...

I make the nicest margaritas. 10/10. Wouldn’t change the way I make em.
Ideal, not least as I was given a load of mescal which is nice-but-not-so-nice-you-want-to-sip-it when my son was born.

Watching three young Wren's playing around in a patch of soil. Seeing a young Muntjac on a walk, large proportionate eyes and ears. Both cases Mother close by.

I thought daisy was the name of a colleague who rarely comes into the office?
Some Daisy's in, some Daisy's isn't.

Fixing a water leak under my block paving driveway has cheered me up today, although digging multiple deep trenches to find out where the leak was, wasn’t amazing fun.
Welsh Water found the 180 litres per hour leak approx 7 years ago. Without doing the maths, that’s some water loss! They’d previously agreed to fix it, but could never organise themselves enough to do the work. To avoid an artesian well springing up, or an unplanned moat, it was time to get digging myself.
Refitting the block paving might be in the trivially annoying thread later if it doesn’t fit back in the removed sections.

Rented an Air B&B in Monmouth. Owners away so had entire 15 acres to ourselves. Cheers me up no end to realise that the Tamar Valley national landscape is in fact more spectacular than the Wye Valley and that the view from my garden beats the one at the £1.6M house we rented the tiny annexe of.

Though it might annoy you that so many places you visit that others rave about just make you go 'meh'. Must admit that the French place really does spoil me for pretty much everywhere... though Topsham 'will do' otherwise, I suppose.

Getting SWW's attention via a message and a Tweet about one of their van drivers shouting angrily at a friend and me to 'move over', when he was sitting in a queue of stationary traffic, and we were riding the other way. I suggested that it didn't do SWW's image much good, and that the driver ought to brush up on his Highway Code and anger management.
