he said he could do it, i could have waited a few days, sure, i would have had to use the old bike for the race but no massive problem. at the time he said yes he wasn`t being cranky, he was smiling away - actually they were happy that my frame had arrived, as they knew i`d been waiting so long.
i never said he was cranky anyway, i said `condescending`. it`s just the way they are there.
