front fork service

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Tue Jan 28, 2014 6:08 am

Had a chat with Griff earlier

he is offering some cut price front fork servicing - call him on 01827 285500 to discuss further

(You will have to take him your fork legs ....)

the prices he was talking were very interesting :)

The infamous Griff stays wayyy too far away for me... Doubt I'll ever see his shop or be able to use him for anything other than ordering the odd part.

Farcebook suggests this limited offer is £60 plus parts for servicing a pair of forks (dropped off and collected at Griff's place).

To be fair, that's actually a cracking price considering its a full fork service... Shame he stays around 4 light years away.

You wait until you start having to wait for customs clearance and pay import duty on top after the vote to rebuild Hadrian's Wall

Griff will up stick and move here, we all know this is where you all want to live but they only accept the best. Griff's allowed... I'm sorry about you. :smt003

To be fair, you have much much better condition roads, our road surfaces are nothing short of shit.

I think this vote about breaking away from Westminster / London is completely discriminatory.
Why are only the Scots allowed to have their say? We should all be allowed to ditch Westminster - I'm sure we've all got more in common around these isles with each other than with our London-centric "rulers"

To be honest, I don't have any trust for any politician.... I think no matter what happens we get screwed over and what they do with the money is kept super secret and they'll still do whatever they want. If any parliament said they'd fix the roads then I'll bloody sign! Afghan probably has better roads! sorry, ranting.

Ye, if its gives us better prospects then I'd be all for it, but..... When do you ever benefit? Really? Nobody knows what happens if we split or not.

Can't see Westminster letting the split happen in a fair way... Maybe its my lack of trust for them all that always makes me think negative of it all. I don't think there's enough information out there to let folk decide properly. Also, trying to get younger folk to vote in it, to me says he's hoping for some of the young "braveheart" type folk to vote independence without actually looking into it. If you get what I mean.
Can't stand Salmon....
