I remember when the internet was only in black & white.
It only had a few pages but at least they all worked.

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
