I needed superglue, and was wondering where I could get some, and then I remembered there's a…read morehardware store across the road. I hadn't been in it before but it has the mystique of all hardware stores, and the feeling that if you don't duck you'll hit your head on a birdfeeder or something. I was confused as to who was the staff as there were three guys just standing around when I went in. The youngest guy gave me assistance when I asked for superglue.... the two older guys accused me of being a glue-sniffer, and told me it would stick to my nose. It was too early in the day for me to come back with anything other than an eye-roll. So if you want hardware items and banter, you could try this place

He was told no that was reserved for customers and when the AA truck came the owner came out and yell at the AA man for blocking the space. no customers came to pack in that spot the whole time they were there.

Had my first encounter with having to hire a piece of garden equipment from A-Z Hire last week…read more I rang them up for some details, prices etc and got an absolute gentleman on the phone, who took the time to answer my questions. It was just lovely to ring up a business and not get somebody "grunting" down the phone , which sadly is all too common in Dublin these days! Anyhow A-Z Hire is situated just of Walkinstown Ave and the Naas Rd. There is plenty of carparking outside. The guys inside are a joy to deal with, being extremely professional and ya can still have a bit of craic with them. After filling out our form and paying for the equipment, we drove around to the yard to be greeted by 2 young fellows who guided us through how to operate the machine and etc. Two real salt of the earth young lads who know their stuff and liked to have a banter with the customers too. All in all A-Z were great to deal with, very professional. I will give them more business and have no hesitation recommending them!

A pattern forming here by the looks of the previous remarks…read more Went to this store at 6.45 Thursday 2 weeks ago. This seems to be late night at this centre. The chap working there was mopping the floor. I walked in with my buggy to get some bulbs. He turned and gave me a filty look and said "we are closing soon, please hurry up". I was shocked and asked " could I get by him wirh my buggy ", he said "No", "I've washed the floor". He was so rude and the shop was clearly wide open, lights on and shutters up, I walked out to the background rumble of "ya bitch" being mumbled under his breath. Terrible place with a staff member that needs serious wing clipping (not the hair it's gone already). Avoid like the plague.

Then he walked away and went outside to move around some pots . when I went out he said " you're welcome " . Went into Churchtown stores and got sorted in a second . Terrible to have mickey mouse shops on your doorstep, he clearly isn't from the area either

Right smack bang in the middle of Tempelogue is Webbs, I've walked past it a thousand times without…read moregoing in... until last spring when we were doing a revamp of my grandmothers garden. There we were, 14 doo-gooders without a clue realising at about 4.30 on a sat afternoon that not only did we have no clue what we were doing, we didn't have the tools to do it with...you know, whatever it is.... A plan is formulated, it involves rope, cutty thingys and 14 headless chickens... we had the chickens but where to find an open shop to get the cutty thingys. Q storms off, hero to the rescue type of thing (in a Nissan Micra...red in case you were wondering) and ends up in Webbs - just as they are closing. The guys see a short, fat, balding guy speaking gibberish at them ... they sell me the sharp implements anyway and give a few words of advice (well worth listening as it turns out!) A small shop with a lot of stuff and friendly, patient, staff. tremendous

Arrived today to be told it was fixed last week, I was asked for fifty euro when I produced my credit card was told they needed cash when I said that was inconvenient he insisted. I paid and left, it was only when I arrived home that I discovered, that for fifty euro Webb had replaced the petro cap, attached two cable ties, and replaced my two broken wingnuts. Interestingly I had asked for a petrol cap and if they would have wing nuts, but the purpose of the visit was to get cables and brakets replaced and all they did was strap the old cable to the old broken bracket. 50 Euro! I will not be returning.
