The Missing Screw

Couple of weeks ago I started skating with LondonSkate. Every Wednesday skating two hours through London. Last time I lost the screw that is fixing my brake. As I wanted to skate today, I tried to fix the brake before. So I tried to find a skate shop. There is one next to Marble Arch tube station called the Club Blueroom.

For the first attempt I took the scooter and tried to get to Marble Arch. The thing in London is, you are never allowed to turn in the direction you need. If you need to turn left, you are only allowed to go right and so on. Really annoying. After 20 minutes I got lost and decided to go back which took me another 20 minutes,

So I decided to walk to Tottenham Court Road station and take the Central Line to Marble Arch. After 5 minutes I found the skate shop, but they couldn't help me. The suggested a hardware store around the corner, but it was already closed. I didn't want to spend more money on the tube and decided to walk back and looked for a shop in Oxford Street that sells screws. Nothing. No screws at all. Carrying my rollerblades around, no screws and all the people in Oxford Street... You probably know the feeling when you are already really annoyed and people in front of you change the direction three times in two seconds or just stop moving, I really hate that.
After all, I spent more than two hours for a bloody screw with no results. Eventually I just removed the whole brake and practiced to skate without brake.
