  1. I too have had trouble with this shop.

    Very high prices, very rude staff, very patronising.

    They don't sponsor any riders on the UCI pro tour, I don't see Ullrich
    or Zabel walking into their shop asking for their advice....... I
    don't see where the attitude comes from. Hell, the guy who runs it
    isn't even an ex pro, not even close. I must agree with simon, he does
    smell and his head does look like a coconut. All I see in front of me
    when I spoke to him is a pretender a wannabe, but one that realises
    his time has gone.

    Poor shop.

    Poor service.

    Poor all round.

    Hope the recievers are called in soon.

    too?

    Funny how two complaints arrive within a few minutes, both through
    google groups with the same nnpt address...

    From the tone of one of them it seems the troll's actual gripe with the
    shop is that they wouldn't sell him any sex trousers. Perhaps he/she
    was in the wrong shop?

    And the 'second' post (I agree post) came in seven minutes before the
    'first'. Is this the birth of a 'trollet', a cross between a troll and a
    muppet.

    I think to get the right balance of dumbness, naffness and sheer
    offensiveness to society, the specimen could be called a "mullet".

    "One of the gigs was in Kidderminster at a venue called Frank
    Freeman's Dancing School. This was in the days when groups were called
    things like Creedence Clearwater Revival or New Riders of the Purple
    Sage, and one of the band said to me: 'Hey, that's a really groovy
    name.' 'Not really,' I told him. 'It's a dancing school run by a man
    named Frank Freeman'."

    Its also identical to a couple of posts from the same BT IP address back
    at the beginning of February. Some numpty obviously has a vendetta to
    wage against the shop

    Yes, I remember that. I don't know the shop, but if I ever come across
    it I might just go in there and buy something out of spite against the
    stupid mullet[1] that's wasting my bandwidth.

    d.

    1.when this usage gets accepted into the OED I want it recognised that
    this is the first official citation.
