Why the f DO they Insist on HavIng stuff in stock? I Meen I want CRC LEvels of "Stock Due Next Week", and Iw ant to be charged £4 for the privelage of HAVING to go to an industrial estate in the MIDDLE of NOWHERE 4 days after I needed the PART to pick it UP.

Why is there always a friendly cheery chap HAPPY to sell STUFF from the workshop at WORKKSHOP prices (eg normal 99p gear cables rather than £5 super dooper PTFE coated stainless ones) and as for PhONEING arround to see if anyones out rIDING tonight for me to tag allong with, it's just not on!

I demand some card fraud, postage charges, lying from cusomer services, my query to be passed ontot he warrenty department, bearings to fail and gratuitous octoporn stuff not in stock and I want it delivered in 4 days when the good weathers finished and I can no longer be asred to go ride.

They've even got the cheek not to give me haribo thus ensuring I stay thin.

The fing cheek of it.

my lbs is amazing! new brakes arrived yesterday morning circa 11am, took into shop to be fitted told probably done tuesday afternoon, and on the off chance if they are done earlier if i can give them a buzz to check, rang up 5.30 pm and all sat and done awaiting collection! same day turnaround and friendly cheap, and enthusiastic and always a pleasure to go into! i love it! now these chaps are proper cyclisting like you or i, not some general everyday mundane job in factory warehouse picking goods you have no interest in ala crc, wiggle* etc (*duly noted some will be keen cyclists)...

Leave him alone, he's from Teeside. The fumes have gone to his head and he needs to head south into the Yorkshire hills for some fresh air. 😆

I wouldn't say "from", it's more like 'exiled to'.

Indeed,'twas a tongue in cheek reference to all the 'parcelforce raped my hamster' and 'CRC refused to sell me hundreds of pounds of good despite my being a prefectly legitimate nigerian businesman, now can I interest you in an investment.......' threads.

Having spent time in the 'sarfff where the streets are paved with (cash for)gold(scammers) I can say that the air is definately clearer in Middlesborugh than it is in the Thames Valley!
