Lol, I bet that's why they are closed, advertise a good bargain and then prevent people getting said bargain!

Maybe, the advert said that the 15% off started 'today', but didn't state when today was.....in the back of the magazine the days out are listed from the beging of December......so the offer could of been on for a week-ish already!

The shop wasn't open again today. Just people in another unit. I took a old bike in today and took me 10 minutes to find someone. They were to busy dossing around. Old bike tyres all over the car park.
Carnt understand the whole situation.

Maybe there's a staffing problem, it is a charity after all.....

Maybe, but why so little information for people trying to support the charity. A little goodwill on their part would go a long way. I'm done with it, somewhere else can benefit from my business :(

Went today while passing and the place was open again. Spoke to the girl who I assume is managing and she explained that she'd been off and they'd had some staff sickness. I clarified they'd be open properly again now and she seems to think they will be. Hopefully my bike can get fixed now :)

Do they not have a telephone number? If so then just phone ahead before you set off, no answer - no go.

Or am I missing something here?

No use to anyone wanting to collect their bikes from there after service if they decide to close for a few days, or indeed permanently without any warning. I've used them for years and there's never been this before. Clearly the place is being very badly run at the moment. Is sir Barry of the Stamp still in charge?

I was referring more to Kyoto who walked down there three consecutive times to find out they were closed.

Oh to have such time on one's hands!
