the black ones £32 anyway isn't it
how'd you mean? it's 32.00 on halfords, but sold out. 69.99 everywhere else....
-
aha, no I photo shopped the 'in stock' logo across as the black had sold out. wasn't worth it, the guy barely looked at it.
Evans site is down due to my order for sixty saddles going through. I'm gonna sell them for 50 quid a pop on here
-
Of course it's a joke! I couldn't possibly know if that's why their site is down.
All I know is despite the massive order mine went through in about 5 minutes
names below for a 50.00 saddle.

The words "online" and "in-store" are standard English usage. For a fuller explanation of the need for a hyphen in the latter, you will need to consult a book on English grammar.
I can't see that there's any need for anger and obscenities. I've always believed that cyclists are a nice bunch of people.
Skully is a nice person...the occasional obscenity [how quaint] is niether here or there.....i have known people including cyclists who have never sworn in their life but are throughly unpleasant and miserable....but should never generalise.....if i am cut up by a car...i can assure you i am profoundly obscene, aggressive and somewhat offensive...but i can assure you that i am a lovely chap....ask skully!
When i checked earlier on Halfords site.....the closest B17 to me [and i am in Cambridge]....is in Crawley near Gatwick in Sussex.

Obscenities are not "quaint"; it represents a decline in standards, both of conduct and of language. Defending the indefensible is a futile gesture, however chivalrous your intentions may be.

I agree that swearing isn't quaint, but with all due respect, that's bollocks.
It doesn't represent a decline in standards at all. Swearing has a great history in the English language, from ancient Anglo-Saxon traditions and those of the Middle Ages, through Shakespeare, the Enlightenment and the Victorians, to the Lady Chatterley trial and all the way through to the Sex Pistols. Swearing runs through the history of the English language like the letters in a stick of a rock. And to risk overextending the similie, if you cut that stick of rock it would say 'FUCK' inside it.
If you're interested I highly recommend Geoffrey Hughes' Swearing: A Social History of Foul Language, Oaths and Profanity in English as a primer.

I spent 25 years there, does that count?
You must have really wanted that saddle!

WIggle does, but i doubt it'll work with them. They require too much details and protects them from stuff like these.

Swearing, when used with wit and irony (i.e. "wit" in its traditional sense), can be enormously entertaining. What I objected to was being accused of using "management speak", an observation that wasn't worth a turd! (I think I got that example from Geoffrey Hughes, last time I looked at that excellent book.)
