Work needed me to get some keys cut because I've now become a responsible person, I'll have you know. I'm going to be a key holder or as I like to call myself the Key Master, still looking for the Gatekeeper though.
I heard the shop in Govan was bit dear so did a bit o' Googling and came across Keys Galore in Cessock. I also checked Yelp but it only had the address and number so I thought what if someone else ends up in my position hence me being the first to review. Yay!
It's like walking into a grandad's workshop. There were two old men, one sitting in a comfy arm chair by the window and another sitting in chair made out of a beer barrel, sitting beside a matching beer barrel cabinet. Very cool might I add. So the guy in the beer barrel seat got up and I showed him the keys needing cut. I couldn't believe my eyes at the amount of keys on the walls, yes walls. It put Timpson to shame, it was like an Aladdin's cave of keys. Ooooh!
The place was pretty shabby but in a good way, if that makes sense. You can tell this place has been here for many many years as there was lots of thingimijigs of stuff I've no idea what they were. Stickers stuck to various places that you know were probably stuck there in the 80s and have been there ever since.
The man had to check a type of key I needed so he called up a company just to check, he certainly knew his keys though. He found the keys he needed and they were done in minutes. He was such a lovely man and his friend kept me company with a bit conversation about the weather, also found out the owner's only got one leg. Ah the things that come up in conversations.
Overall it was a good experience, the price was a little dearer than I had hoped but I think nowadays anywhere you go is going to be a bit more expensive. It was hop, skip and a jump from Cessock underground and it also meant I could grab my lunch from Cherry and Heather's across the road. Yipee!! Check out the raving reviews.
