They've been pretty good to me.

Do you work in a proper bike shop Adam? Always assumed it was a cycling one. {jokey inflammatory wording}

Or do you mean you're going to spend £££ if one opens nearby?

One opened up in Reading recently.

Mostly these days i buy stuff online (from their site-quick delivery & they price match). I know what size i am in bike gear - it's only when looking for a Bike Helmet i go and look in the shops.

Yes, probably wise. I'm not a 'shopper' but anything motors related and tools, I can splash.
Do you remember the Hein Gericke days? Lethal for the wallet.

I can't be sure of sizes without trying on because they vary so much between manufacturers, and returning mail order stuff isn't cheap and is a faff.
