SO we go to look at bikes. They fall into three cagtegories: cheap, more expensive and HOW MUCH?
The spotty yoof salesperson gravely advises the Boy that the middle range is best for him. A suitable bike is selected and The Boy tries it out by riding it round the shop scared2:
Yippee, you can get three "accessories" for the price of 2 :thumbsup: rubschin:
These include: mudguards. Since when are these an accessory? Oh, and lights, and a lock.
The Boy then announces he needs a pump. Yoof produces "pack of accessories": pump, lock, lights (no mudguards). We buy the pack and get mudguards as extra. Banghead
Yoof then advises we get oil. HOw lucky that they have some on offer (half price with every bike :thumbsup:) The Boy sugests this might be useful.
I insert my card into the machine and look away noooo:
-
How much...? Popcorn:

No fvcking chance. He was eyeing some remote controlled cars in another shop. I reminded him that I had bought him four of these and that each one had only survived one excursion. The first, he was 5, departed his bedroom and arrived 4 flights of stairs later in the kitchen in a heap of cog wheels and springs evil: That was at 10.00 Christmas morning evil:
And then there was the toy hovercraft noooo:
