Which fool in the biking maufacturers decided that saddles have to be hard narrow instruments of torture.
I have just got two new bikes, (his and hers) so we can trundle about and get a bit of exercise, but the saddles left a lot to be desired in the comfort zone. I had to go and get a couple of comfy ones from halfords costing another £30 on top of the price of the bikes. Is it the brainchild of some marketing guru to sell us something that is next to useless so we shell out more cash to make the bike fit for purpose. I have written to the sellers and voiced my indignation and told them to take the saddles back and give me a refund on the cost.
Also in Halfords, I approached the counter and some spotty faced sprog started to process the transaction and asked if I needed a bag, cause I do was my reply, that they cost 5p each he proudly said. Put the saddles back on the shelf then. No bag, no sale.
With that the manager came across and explained the money went to charity, I chose my own charity, I said. Well it's to save the enviroment he said. The I blew my top and pointed out their main business was selling vehicle spare parts that keep old bangers on the road and said vehicles cause a lot of greenhouse gases, so please stop insulting me with stupid statements. He went on and on about company policy but I lost interest and when he finished I said sorry was you still talking to me, because just for a minute I had the impression you was talking to somebody who gives a toss.
I got the bag.
