Your attempt at dismissive contempt, followed by an obvious change of tack speaks volumes about your shallow ineptitude.

E&S is not shallow!

If you didn't have enough time to ask them how much it would cost, how did you find enough time to tell them what you wanted done ?

I can't believe you have accused Evans staff of being "drongos" ……. you sound like a complete muttonhead to me.

And no, Effin isn't shallow

…….just short.

I'm so upset by all this that I'm going to Lewisham. 😥

I booked it in the previous evening. Simples, but too complicated for you, obviously…

Believe what you like. You "sound" like a complete dikhead, as usual.

I really didn't expect this thread to turn out so damn funny!

I do my best.

Muttonhead – there's an insult that doesn't get used anywhere near as much as it deserves to be!

Funny really, I don't expect my LBS (or and bike shop) to fit anything for free – the same way I wouldn't expect my garage to do stuff for free.

But as I'm a good customer to both they do do things for free, or will give me detailed advice on how to fit stuff. Or we'll agree a price at the time of purchase that covers labour – if I've decided I need it.

Me neither. Small world.

Great thread, live by the sword die by the sword, abrasive character get rubbed the wrong way(oooer missus)and lobs toys. 🙂

Shut it Woppit.

I think that it is great that Evans open at 8 am to help commuters with their cycling issues. The Brompton does look more fiddly than a normal bike so it seems reasonable to charge a bit more for working on them.

£25 does seem highish but not enough to qualify as an "outrage".

Maybe a weekly inspection of the bike by the OP would have identified the failing tyre and prevented the problem? – I used to do this when I commuted from Reading to Basingstoke.

That's sensible, and as such, completely out of place in this thread.

GG (favourite song "Hairway to Steven" by The Butthole Surfers, hence the STW name) will be along in a minute to eject you.

Toolio Iglesias.

😆

I'll just wave my copy of Locust Abortion Technician at him 8)

If it's fiddly couldn't you practise changing tubes?

Yeah, but I'm not a gyneacologist.

Blimey! Unlike the OP's tyre, who'd have thought this thread had so much mieage in it?

This thread is brilliant, well wort reading through.

Thankyou muttonhead! 😆

Jeeze, is he still carrying on?
This has become painful to watch. Fair play to Woppit for giving us all someone to laugh at though. Very entertaining.

That's laugh at, Woppit, not with.

You become more sad with every passing post. That was done by Wogan, interviewing Ike, already.

Are you just a regurgitator of other people's wit or do you have some purpose in life apart from coming on here and being a tool?

Mr Woppit versus the (Singletrack) World!

Easy. 😀

You become more sad with every passing post.

Quite the contrary. This thread is doing wonders for my depression. Who needs Valium when Woppit's around? 😀

Clearly, not working on you, then…

WILL.THIS.THREAD.NEVER.END?

Not if I can help it. (Last word freak).

Ah well its the weekend soon, perhaps you can all go ride some bikes, might calm you down a bit!

ooooh Sarah Green. I loved her when I was 10, but didn't really know why.

Does anyone know if all that 80s knitwear was burned as a public service?

I didn't know the Jungle and DnB star was in Blue Peter?

ooooh Sarah Green. I loved her when I was 10, but didn't really know why.

Its cos she talked like a little girl.
