With Mothers Day just around the corner , the question is would your Mum like a Charlie's Angels Annual?  I know i would, I saved my chocolate every week all ready to settle down to watch an episode. We have a large selection of retro television and pop music Annuals in stock, but this would be my pick. (Unless there was a Cagney and Lacey one ) .

Cycling in Style in Bristol and beyond

Bristol is to be the first Cycling City in the UK apparently. Lots of money is to be spent on improving the cycling networks etc, and the amount of people cycling in Bristol is set to double over the next couple of years.

This can only be good news in my book, the more cyclists there are on the roads, the safer it feels, as you are definitely seen. Cycling into the centre will be quicker,cheaper,and more convenient if there are more of us doing it. I hope there are going to be lots more bike parking spaces sorted out. If you have a really snazzy bike, you can park it at the Mud Dock Bike Shed where it is going to be safe and you can get a shower as well if you want.

There is talk of a big bike rental scheme starting up soon where you can get a bike for an hour we shall look out for that.

To make your bike more individual , we have just had some retro accessories arrive, that generally, you are not going to see in the local bike shop.

We have a traditional Bike horn that makes a really big hoot, which is ideal for getting the pedestrians to move off of the cycle path!

A whirl-A-Bell, which is one of those retro whirly metal kite type things that you can attach to the frame or handlebars of your bike and makes a ringing noise as you cycle along. This would look great on one of those ladies town bikes with a basket!

We also have a completely pointless and wonderful, Bike Aeroplane, or Bike Airplane as it is called. This is a little silver plane that attaches to your handlebars with a red propellor that whizzes round when you cycle along, How cool is that! A great accessory for adults and children alike.

We are on the look out for more accessories to make your bike stand out in the crowd, right now these are available in the shop and online on our website

The Tomato ketchup dispenser is back

Back in stock today is the retro kitsch classic tomato ketchup dispenser. I love these and i am so glad that we have decided to stock them again after probably a couple of years now. They remind me of the Wimpy bars in the 1970s when we used to have one of those bizarrely bright red round saveloy sausage rings in a bun. Aah the additives. You don't see such food anymore.
