If you want to I can put you in touch with the manageress of the HG in Northampton, she has lots of great ideas and it's not like your stores are close enough to be in competition!

- Oh and does this mean you get your mugshot on the 'Feel the ride' site hehehehe!

Ah, ok that's where I got confused - there was a comment about not buying in or something. Was just curious what it meant, it sounds like a franchise then.

Yeah, she's great and really knows her stuff, but she's the only one in there who does. I've been given blatantly incorrect information from Ben and [insert name of quiet teen with odd hair]. These days, if I don't see Emma's bike outside, I don't bother going in.

I guess it'll mess up your biking days for a while but hopefully it will be worth it. If I'm in the area I'll try and pop in for a biscuit.

Good luck,

Keith.
