HAHAHAHAHA so tr....sorry.. start again... SO true sir!!! been there done that lol. my youngest has just been paid and is asking all sorts of questions (he's 16) one of which is "can we go up the bike shop tomorrow dad" lol the rest just involves red this and skewers that, more red this and then some rotors that lol, he's got it bad!
lol cash he has.. he did a paper round for 4 years at around 9 quid a week.. now he is earning near on 200 quid a week 
which is a huge jump and he is SO used to surviving on 9 quid a week.. dosnt really have any vice's other than his bike so he tends to save well
gets his bike in the workstand this morning for him to give it its weekly tlc and as we clamped it in i commented on how lovely his new goldie lookin chain is.. he put his hand to his neck and said i havnt got one on dad!.. LOL.. i so pointed at said golide lookin chain and said 'when did you add the bling then' (its rusty by the way.. not gold). would seem the 6 days a week back and forth to work have taken their toll on his chain so i insisted he buys another, after all he knows to lube and take care of all bits that move on his bike,, its the law in this house lol and he obviously hadnt done it last week, so we fetched a new chain/rear pads and stocked up on the lubes needed. unfortunately for him and fortunately for his bank the shop was clean out of blue 'ano amazingness' meaning i'll sit and search to the end of the internet tonight to find him some better deals
