The way some people need to suck the joy from everything. Mark Cavendish isn’t Eddy Merckx, he’s not the greatest male road racer of all-time. But he is the greatest road sprinter. Can’t we just all enjoy that?

@rob_from_ash Yes, my dad occasionally did overtime. But I think Lee is implying his dad worked 7 days a week every week, while running a small farm, just to have a swipe at food banks. The very food banks Tory austerity spawned.
