There is an excellent range of Smiffy costumery here however so if you're stuck to wear something for a fancy dress party and you're not particularly inspired to come up with your own outfit, you'll surely find something here to do the trip.

You'll find the usual array of balloons and decorations, as well as a pretty extensive fancy dress section - great for Halloween and student nights. What's on offer is pretty standard - don't be surprised to go out and see at least ten other people in town all wearing the same Frankenstein mask as you. Still, if you're not creatively inclined, but want to get in on some of the dress-up action, it's a good place to find something to make it look as if you've at least put a bit of effort in. It's averagely pricey for this kind of stuff, so don't expect to find any bargains, either.

The staff was helpful in finding one at a reasonable price. I had inadvertently left my new camera (purchased elsewhere) on the counter when fishing for my wallet in my purse. I came back looking for it several hours later looking for it and one of the salespeople had it stored safely out of view. He returned it to me once was able to describe the make and model along with the most recent pictures stored on it. The staff was also extremely appreciative when we had dropped off a thank you gift to them. Overall, we had a very good experience with the store. They have a good selection at a reasonable price in a prime location. I don't understand the prior reviewers comments about it being "depressing and grey". It is reasonably well lit and everything is easy to find. Perhaps he still hasn't gotten over the closure of Dixon's. :(

It has been much needed as since the close down of Dixon about 3 years ago there hasn't be a dedicated electrical store in the centre since. I've bought a set of headphones (great), Some batteries (Useful) and nearly bought my Mac from there (luckily escape). Prices seem fine here and are not marked up from the general RRP of equipment. The shop seems very grey and depressing though and doesn't grab you to pull you in if your walking past. The products are all lined up in quite long rows and are easy to find and play with. Staff are very nice here but are oh so annoying. Within the 2 minutes I was in their last week looking for a router, I was asked by 3 separate members of the Currys family "If I'm ok". Not cool when your as miserable as me and a world record in customer bothering.

I have an old Lexmark printer that you can't even buy cartridges for, but they refilled it for me for £10 - when Staples kept them in stock they were over £20 each. Only negatives were they don't have the selection of someone like PC World, but on the upside they do know what they are talking about which PC World, Staples etc don't. Highly reccommend them to all.

You can find some good bargains in here however I myself would never trade anything in with them as, like most game stores, the price they offer you is a tiny fraction of the price they will attempt to sell it. For example I once asked how much they pay for standard Lego Mini-figures, they offered me 10p each, when they sold them at £1 each. This may be due to more local competition opening up. I can't imagine it's very easy for them with two large chains nearby Some of the staff here are quite friendly while others can come across as quite rude.
