Chatting to my coal merchant today and remarked that I was dreading putting Marathon Plus tyres on the trike front wheels.
" Bring it down to the camp site next Tuesday or Wednesday morning and I'll fit them for you".
Not only is he the coal merchant but also has a camp site and a bike hire and repair business and probably others I don't know about.
Since I buy all my coal from him he will do this free of charge. A proper island resident with all sorts of sidelines.
Hope I never have to fix a puncture out on the road tho' but it should be easier second time.
In the old days if you wanted to buy a telly you went to the Sweetie Shop and anything could be got or fixed by just learning who to ask. We had experts in nearly everything somewhere around.
The big factories in Coventry used to be like that, you just needed to know who to ask and you could get most job done.
