    I remember when the internet was only in black & white. It only had a few pages but at least they
    all worked. Email: Put only the word "richard" before the @ sign.

    I placed an order saturday which arrived yesterday with two packs of wine gums. Believe me, you
    didn't miss much.

    I have used Edinburgh bicycle and Cycle express, both times with no problem and with
    excellent service.

  3. Chain Reaction. Order placed about 14:00. Items arrived about 10:00 the next day. For wheels. From
    N. Ireland. Very impressive. No wine gums though.

    This is outrageous. I've never had any flippin wine gums off them!

    I don't like wine gums actually, but I'm feeling left out :-)

    Me neither. They did send me a key ring/bottle opener, though, which I seem to have
    subsequently lost....

    About 6 months ago I faxed an order to Gearshift, after a 10 days no goods so I emailed them, very
    busy will do order soon, after another week still no goods, rang them again, order still sitting
    there not done ("we're still very busy"😉. I cancelled the order and went elsewhere. They were very
    polite but didnt seem to want to sell stuff.

    Ordered some stuff from Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative (Sunnywheel bike lift - thanks to who gave me
    the tip) last w/e and that turned up promptly.

    Cheers
