[Closed] Broken spoke - arse!

Went out for a blast on my road bike last night and, 6.49 miles from home, heard a ping, then a series of clongs and decided to stop quickly. I very quickly identified a broken spoke (what with it flapping around and missing the last bit that hooks into the hub).

I'm using the road bike a lot at the moment and need it fixed and, whilst I have swapped spokes myself in the past, I am by no means an expert at it. I'd rather not mess up my bike by doing a shonky job, so can anyone recommend a decent LBS near Cambridge that has a good rep for wheel building? Either that, or is someone near Cambridge an expert in wheel building that could drop by and teach me how to do it?

Beer and food would be yours for the latter.
