The shop where I worked (many, many moons ago) had a mechanic who could ride a unicycle
He decided to try and ride down the metal staircase from the upstairs store room one day – needless to say didn't end well and we had to spend the rest of the day explaining to customers why their bikes weren't fixed. Half were angry, the others just p•ssed themselves and said don't worry I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Same mechanic, whilst out on a works ride, pulled a wheelie and took the front wheel out – very clever – until he accidentally dropped it and rode over it

Sorry to be a moan, but don't get anything done at Berkshire Cycles in Crowthorn!
I was staying at a friends near there and planning to go for a ride in the lovely sun and fine countryside. Didn't have the tools to replace my bottom bracket. Took my 1991 Clockwork in, came out missing the silver caps from the black DX cranks and noticed that the arms were now threaded! Asked where the caps had gone, to which I was at first told there were none on the bike, and after much insistence that there were, told that they were busted and in the bin! Not to mention a nice big chip to the paint by the bottom bracket+the bb wasn't sealed flush to the frame. They had not a clue. They were so oafish and dim, that instead of trying to get any sort of discount, I left, fu<king stressing.
Been needing to get that out, and figured this was the place.
Am I overreacting? Should I chill? Shouldn't people try and do their jobs propperly and perhaps well? gripegripegripe......

Last summer,a work experience student came in our shop,from the garage next door.He said he had been sent round to ask if we had a menstrual cycle.I kept a straight face,and replied that i was unlikely to be able to help,being male,but that his mum may be of some assistance.He left,none the wiser,a shop full of people pissing themselves.And he is one of the brighter people we get in!!
