A small correction to the dictionary: It is not a ‘mass of cyclists’. It is a discombobulapelatonation of cyclists, from which the Tour de France commentators get ‘Pelaton’.

Did you also see the new WWI exhibition at the Imperial War Museum?
I have never been to the Imperial War Museum. I must get around to it…
Wow, there’s as many people as there are poppies. I need to plan for events like this and sorry I missed it but there’s so many other travel and social balls to juggle
