Stap,
The bar tape looks good from the NW Florida part of the US, can't see anything wrong with the job at all. I use the bottom up now, used to wrap from the top down and tuck into the end plug when I used Tressostar cloth tape. With the thicker cork and padded tapes I start at the bottom with a wrap over to secure the end and wrap each side in the opposite direction of the other. A roll of black electrician's tape finishes it off. I know some detest the electrician's tape at the top being visible, does not bother me as it is tightly, evenly wrapped with the ends matched, beneath the bar. Works for me and I am the only one riding my bike. Yours looks well wrapped, very neat and evenly spaced the entire length.

I don't know if the UK had the sweetener "Splenda", but I now use that for my coffee and sweetened iced tea (southern US thing) as it dissolves completely and has no aftertaste as some of the sweeteners do. Monica cooks with it the same as she would with sugar and no one has been able to taste any difference unless we tell them. My B-I-L and I have adopted it as our sugar now. If you can get Splenda, try it in your coffee.
