No... I don't own a chain breaker. I have a chain and a rear wheel. I want to break said chain so I can fit said rear wheel. I could just buy a breaker, but if they would do it for cheaper than the cost of said tool, I would say "yes please". Then they said it would cost 35 quid, which seemed like an attempt to rip me off. I did not simply ask them to tension the chain, clearly that can be done by moving the wheel in the dropouts.
Although my English is apparently terrible, I think you mean "thought you were an idiot" rather than "thought you where an idiot".
Where an idiot? I'm right here. Plus to be honest there were plenty of people in there who would not know how to tension a chain, there was also a guy who had come in because he had a flat. What would you say to him if you owned a bike shop then?! "Fuck off noob. HTFU! Plus tell Storm we won't touch his chain, he should just buy a chain tool and shut the fuck up!"
