Das ist nicht eine Bicycle? ;¬)

WAY back in the mists of History there were two "makes" (for want of a better) of bicycle we referred to as:
C. W. S. - Claiming Copper Wire & String held it together.
OR
It was made of A. B. C. -  Made from All Bits Combined.
Many Years before - Mam & Dad's era the would intone:
"Ride a Raleigh, ride a wreck, ride a Rudge and break your neck.

"In 1938, Rudge-Whitworth sponsored Billie Fleming to attempt the distance record for the most miles covered in a year.  They provided a bicycle with three-speed derailleur gears and a cyclometer, as well as financial support so that she could cycle for 365 days continuously.  Her record of 29,603.7 miles (47,642.5 km) still stood at her death, aged 100 in 2014."

WHY all that guff on Bikes?  Well, two reasons:-
1. The story goes I was damnearly born on a Bike - NOT literally, of course.
2. This Bed got a look in some, unfindable, time ago.
(NOTE to self - tag BETTER!!!)
I referred to it as my "ABC Bed" - definitely All Bits Combined.  Or in this instance A B Cramped.

Lurking therein, in no particular order:-
Small group of Chives - up for grabs if anybody near wants/needs them.
Broad Beans.
Last years Rainbow Chard come back from the dead.
Several sets of Spuds.
About 1/2 Doz. Shallots, of a variety I can't remember.
Interspersed with overflow Garlic which didn't fit the Garlic mtr3.
A lonely "Outdoor Girl" Tomato, just to see if she is.

There's a Garlic there would make a magnificent Leek for show; I'm looking forrard to seeing what size the Bulb is.
