    Caught short by a puncture when I had no spares or tools available I
    had to pick up a tyre and inner tube from an LBS.

    Unfortunately the only 700 X 28 they had was a Panaracer tyre with a
    white wall. Maybe I'm too picky but I have real problem with white wall
    tyres – I end up feeling like I'm on a vehicle from Bugsy Malone. I'm
    sure it's a perfectly fine tyre.

    Is there place for white walls?

    Of course there is. Hanging on the wall in the smallest room of your
    LBS :-)
