Revisiting what actually happened to me, and to the contrary to what I replied to @Jonny69 , there might have been pre announcing signs, audible squeaks, but that could have been anything...

Sweet Christ!. My Carlton Flyer commuter which is in what you could politely call rather ratty condition squeaks all the time. Will have to lay of the pies and beer.....
