Parrot

I had a Parrot catalogue through the door this morning, along with a
letter offering a 10% discount on anything ordered during November.

Good news - looks like they /haven't/ gone out of business. I haven't
tried phoning the order line yet, though.

They did go out of business.

From http://www.parrot-online.com :
"Parrot Performancewear, previously based in Chester, have gone into
receivership. Daleswear Ltd., a former supplier of clothing to Parrot,
have taken over the brand name and will continue to sell Parrot products
via this website and through our factory shop in the Yorkshire Dales."

I noticed this the other day, sorry I didn't post the news. It is good
news except not all the products seem to be available online. Hi Line
Shirt, for instance.

Oooh, Daleswear, my favourite (about 10 miles from me, and suppliers of fine
clothes for people who live in cold houses!)

cheers,

Thanks for that Pete. It's nice to have an explanation for why they
stopped answering calls, and now seem to be back.

But I can get some more Block Sleeveless jerseys now, ready for next
year. The 4 I've already got just aren't enough.

FWIW I have used Dalesware for caving and other gear for years, they are
very good value and service.

And suppliers of fine clothes for people who crawl around underground
too... The factory shop in Ingleton is very good. should you be passing
that way. It'll be good if it has cycle specific goodies too.

Yes, the clothes for living in cold houses are in fact a pair of fibre pile
undersuits :-)

(they're not allowed underground though, so are still lovely and fluffy)

Since they make their own stuff, they'll customise for not too much money,
which is nice.

But will the sale ever end?!

Yes - good news.
Cycling Plus have a review of their Activa T and a waterproof jacket.
I was surprised - but glad to see them back.

There's also a review of the Rapha cycling top and jacket.
Ahhhh.... if I ever win the lottery.
