Very efficient, very reasonable. I will definitely use Alexander going forward. He has serviced a Driva, Zenith and is now doing a Breitling. read more

What a gem. I am SO happy we have this shop on Byres Road. Jim, the owner, is a bit of a legend…read more He is an artist and a real craftsman. I wandered in in looking to get my beloved shoes re-heeled. He said it would take about 20 minutes and would cost £9. I suppose that is relatively steep for some people, but considering that I love these shoes and I can finally wear them again AND the real TLC he gives the shoes - polish, shine the whole shebang, I was more than happy to pay! He did a stellar job, is incredibly friendly and chatty and has a good sense of humour. He showed me pictures of some of the repairs he's done, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the state of the shoes that some people bring in. Anything from Doc Martins to Jimmy Choo's (they were ghastly, I was shocked!), he managed to make everything look brand new, no matter how little leather was left. This would probably also be the place to come to get keys cut, glass engravings, belt notch making. I have yet to require any of these services, however, I know where I'll be going when the time comes. I am super happy with the service in this place, and can only recommend Jim and craftsmanship! The one thing you should know is that it is cash only.

And the best part, two repaired heels for £8! I highly recommend this shop. If you need keys cut, shoes repaired, passports photos, or even leather work this is the place.

If like me you operate a banger economics strategy when it comes to car purchases, there is a good…read morechance that the alloy wheels on your car are going to start losing their shine. Age tends to get the better of alloy wheels, and after a while the allow starts coming off the wheel or starts bubbling up. The upshot of this is that your tyre doesn't really stick to the wheel all that well, so you have to pump it up pretty much every week. That's where these guys come in. For about a third of the cost of a new wheel (the work cost me £45 all up) they'll take the wheel down to the base metal, recoat it and paint it from a choice of colours - they were able to match my original colour with no problems. It's just a case of turning up, and they will take your wheel for a day or two, and it's as good as new. Watch yourself if you are going on a Friday though, as they close at 2. They are open at 8am though, which is pretty handy. They are recommended by Prestige Tyres in Busby, and I went there based on this. Absolutely no complaints from me, and would highly recommend them should you need this done.
I've used this printer quite a lot and I've always found their work to be of a very high standard…read more They're professional, friendly, helpful and competitively priced. They definitely know what they're talking about and will work with you to find better and cheaper ways of printing things. They work to good turnaround times and in the rare event they've made a mistake it's been rectified quickly and without fuss.

They were very helpful and repaired the laptop in an afternoon and managed to recover my data re install all of my software anti virus etc and backed up all of my data on the ''cloud'' ( which I had not done properly).

When my seemingly bullet-proof external hard drive came to its demise one rainy summer's day, I…read morefrantically searched for someone who could revive it. Although the guys at Mercury were unsuccessful at retrieving my data, that is a reflection on the poor manufacturing at Seagate (b**tards!) rather than the guys here. The slick and friendly gentleman who attempted to do a number on my drive treated the situation like he was a doctor, but did not charge me for the hassle of examining the case. He gave me a concise diagnosis without deluding my expectations and was extremely apologetic when nothing could be done. That being said, he shed some light on the matter - my hard drive had slipped disks inside the magnetism, which is in computing terms a terminal illness. An operation on my item would have to be carried out in sterile conditions (I'm not kidding!) in a lab that you ususally have to send your item away to as these places are normally secluded in the country. But I appreciate the effort Mercury's team made and the fact they spent some time mulling over the situation without charging me for it. For repairs that can be carried out in their workshop they seem to be skilled, with prices at the expected rate for repairs such as these. I sincerely hope I won't have to mourn losing years worth of data again, but if such problems should arise I would return to this laptop surgery.
Having felt the pain of losing a laptop suddenly, I tried my best to console my friend when he…read moreshared his woes over the fact that his laptop was on its last legs and then, one sad gloomy day, how it would not turn on. I sympathised over a strong cup of tea - I had lost my laptop in the same way. A few days later he walked me back to my flat hugging the dead laptop insisting that he was taking it to Mercury Computers to get it fixed. In denial, I thought. I told him he had to move on and cut his losses - that getting it repaired would cost too much. But miraculously Mercury Computers brought it back to life and it is still going strong! Amazing. I don't think it was exactly cheap (definitely quite a bit under £100 though) and a small price to pay in comparison to a new laptop. I wonder now if I let my last wee beloved laptop down by not getting it the help it needed. Sniffle sniffle. Upstairs from Catani's this great wee place does everything you could dream of doing to your computer and sells all the bits and pieces for those with their own technical minds.
Nil by Mouth is a charity that was set up by Cara Henderson. The story behind the creation of the…read morecharity is not a pleasant one. When she was 15 years old she saw her friend, Mark Scott, stabbed to death on his way home from a football match between Celtic and Partick Thistle in the city's east end. Mark, a 16-year-old Celtic supporter, was walking with 2 friends when he was murdered in an unprovoked attack by Jason Campbell, a follower of rival Glasgow club Rangers. Mark never saw his killer. The charity has a mandate to tackle sectarianism in Scotland, particularly in Glasgow. They work within schools and at the grassroots, community level to try and cnahe attitudes and bridge the religious gaps that foster religious violence. They are always looking for new help and if you think this is a project that you would like to become involved with then email mail@nilbymouth.org.

They use drama workshops, discussions and teaching, all aimed at bringing together the catholic and protestant communities. Sectarianism in Glasgow is mostly centred around Rangers and Celtic, bringing a lively edge to Glasgow derbies and, in many ways, defining the city's atmosphere for outsiders. There still is a great deal of segregation on the West Coast- Catholic schools are popular, and graffiti often explores religious identity. A mixture of old fashioned football hooliganism, bigotry on both sides and an anxiety about how to address this gives Glasgow sectarianism a unique flavour. When you consider that it was only in 2003 that employment law expressly forbade discrimination on grounds of religion, it becomes clear that this is not some ancient problem that has recently disappeared. Nil By Mouth are aiming to cut it out at the root, by addressing primary school children. They do emphasise how what might seem like simple partisan behaviour can lead to violence and, sadly, murder. When they started out, Nil By Mouth attracted a great deal of good publicity, and they remain an important education and lobbying body.
Probably one of the best computer shops in the area…read more I had major, major issues with another computer repair shop in Motherwell who were seriously messing me around, so I brought my beloved laptop here, and they fixed it for me in two days (compared to the other shops 2 WEEK effort) It wasn't even that expensive, but they really did save my life, and all of my Uni coursework too. They also sell other things computery, like cables and mouse mats and more technical stuff that I couldn't really explain to you, and do mobile phone repairs. It's a bit of an all round technological repair centre really. All of the stars go to how efficient and quick the guys here were, and they never bamboozled me with any jargon either. Brilliant.
