And of course, there was a parody of it by the Goodies who included it the Funky Gibbon song. "Tie a yellow gibbon..."

Without me saying anything OH has decided to downsize his motorbikes. The 4 became 3 yesterday and the intention is to reduce it to 2 when he has finished the rebuild currently ongoing. Not sure whether he is doing it for financial reasons or if he does actually want to spend time with me when I've retired

2 motorbikes is still a decent haul 😃, hope the cash from one of them turns into a holiday of a lifetime…..
