The Riddle

 Welcome to England, where even your food smiles at you (potatoes never cease being funny).

 

Hi there, nice to meet you. I'm sure I will be enjoying your warm company.

I feel extremely youthful. I don't know when the last time I had a plaster on my knee would have been. See I managed to fall from (or rather with) my bicycle. 

It was a strange situation, I was coming out to a small road from an even smaller road, stopped to look for cars and suddenly I was on my face. My best guess is that I was too close to the border of the sidewalk, my wonky basket (which was loaded with a really heavy bag) moved a little, shifting the weight enough to turn my front wheel in an awkward angle causing it to slide down the sidewalk border stone, causing me to lose my balance. The rest is history. I did feel silly suddenly finding myself on the ground tangled in my bicycle with my bag and cereal carton scattered around, but I quickly got myself together and managed to reach home safely. 

My only keepsakes from this marvellous experience are the aforementioned scrape on my knee, a neat bruise on my other leg and a small scrape on my elbow. I really think these would give me some street credibility, would I be able to wear shorts to show them off. Alas, I am afraid it is a bit too cold for that sort of attire now.

Do you like riddles? I have one for you then. This is not applicable to you if you have played Fez and therefore know the answer, not looking for spoilers here. Also, please do not google it, that spoils the fun. Just sharing this brainteaser with you. I'll let you know if I find the right answer.

What's my name?

Hint: 

My first half is what is is

My second half is half of what made it

I know from the mechanics of answering this question that it is probably 8 letters long and does NOT include the letters D J P W.

Good luck.
