Mick's right about Tommy retiring, alas there is no T.J.Quick's now in Stanstead Rd., just the old shop boarded up and covered in graffiti.........not many independent cycle shops left in 'sarf east London nowadays, Ernie Witcomb is at the bottom of Tanners Hill still grumbling with son Barry quietly continuing to braze his frames on the hearth (must be one of the last!), Paul Mepham still flies the Harry Perry flag in Woolwich, his link is to Excel Cycles going back some 65 years and Stratton's are still going over the other side of Clapham Common, Chas Roberts is thriving in Croydon, any others? regards Griff King-Spooner (London UK)
