...a bicycle shop. Somewhere which sells bikes, parts, accessories and does repairs and servicing. Herne Hill Bicycles is great, as is Brixton Cycles but both are always booked weeks in advance. Plus there's the hassle of travelling back and forth on the bus after dropping my bike off. Judging by the number of cycists in the area, I'm sure that a good bike shop would do a brisk trade and there's lots of empty shops on side streets just waiting to be recuscitated.

Well, having queued for thirty minutes with a streaming cold in arctic temperatures yesterday, I still think it was worth it to buy Xmas stilton from a man who doesnt just know about cheese...he knows what I like. Plus some crumbly mature gouda and a goats cheese yule log and something Spanish beginning with z. Now I actually have something to look forward to *after* christmas dinner (other than the Christmas pudding I couldn't face last year which is still suspiciously in date).
