"Hi Emma, I managed to win the pedals! Will you be at the club at all this week to collect? Thanks Alice"

"Ooh an excuse to use eBay!  I'll put a bid in. Thanks! Alice"

"Hi Alice, Yes - they're still available - but they are actually on eBay now, but the auction is still live and there's several days…"

"Hi Emma, I'm looking to buy a pair of clip pedals - if yours are still available I would be happy to take them off your hands? Thanks Alice"

"Hi Lee How about Tuesday evening? Does that work for you? "

"Afternoon is fine, let me know the time that suits you well. Got your number, and i'm removing mine, thanks. "

"Sunday at 11 isn't going to work for me because I am leading the ride, But maybe I can meet you in the afternoon when I'm done? I'll send you a text so you have my number. Also - its worth noting that this is an open forum so you…"

"I live right near the lido so whenever is convenient for you."

"Alright, then, I appreciate it. When and where?"

"Just try it first and we can come to some arrangement within your budget - its currently folded up in the bottom of my wardrobe so I'd rather it went to some use! "

"Great! How much would you want for it? (I have a low budget, if it is too fancy it might be out of my reach...) "

"Thanks for the advice. I am planning to swim in Loch Ness, just happenned to find a website where someone had swum in August and they said they measured temperatures between 9 C and 12 C. "

"I have one that would probably fit."

"I would say any wetsuit with surf in the name is probably not going to be flexible enough for swimming in. This will then make swimming very hard and tiring. You need one from a brand like Orca, Blueseventy, 2XU, TYR, Foor, Aquasphee, Huub or…"

"In addition to my request, I was having a look at ebay and found those 2.8 mm Surf Attack wetsuits... anyone knows them? Are they ok for swimming in 9 C or so water? Thanks once more! "
