  Nah, pffft, no worries. Good to see you too!

  I can feel the temptation to look at other threads now, so I shall now log off forever and return to the ether from whence I came.

  Emmy NOTONHERE would like to make it clear that it was not 'cheeky pavement riding' but that that pavement is shared use (secret Brockley know-how, innit).

  And, oi, 6pt I totally said hello! But, uh, after I'd passed you kinda and my brain had clunked into gear...

  Look what you guys have done. You made me log in now.

  Hellooooo! The bike is now free! Found an angle grinder that worked and it took about 30 seconds. After all that. But the relief is huge.

  Thank you so much again everyone. You're all great and making me wonder why I ever stopped reading this forum.

  The saga of the grinder continues! The first one found was deemed unfit for human use, so I've managed to borrow another one which I will use tomorrow...

  Good luck! FYI - the angle grinder I have is a mains one but a) I'm not ever at my house so you'd need to arrange to pick up from a forum member who also lives there b) You may need a new blade for it as it's in the cellar and probably hasn't been used for 5 years.

  I've heard horror stories of needing 8 blades, so I would come prepared. We'll see how it goes tomorrow though.

  Argh.

  Thanks for all the help guys! I may have found someone with a portable angle grinder that I'm going to go see tomorrow. Hopefully it will work. If it doesn't, goodhead - I will definitely PM you.

  You are all awesome.

  Alienmo was that you I saw in Evans Spitalfields this morning looking mightily cheesed off? I have to say I noticed you plight and did wonder what the hell you were going to do about it. Bummer that you'll end up having to fork out for a new abus when you finally sort it too. Good luck with it. I hope it works out!

  Yeah, that was me. Thank you for the well wishes!

  Aaaaand... still looking. A very valiant attempt by nuknow and friend to cut it (thank you guys!), but it's majorly hardened steel. Something electric?
