Give this place a try though. As well as repairing PC's and laptops, you can also purchase laptops and other computer accessories from here. But to be honest I would be more comfortable buying a computer/laptop from elsewhere. The CD's on sale are pretty expensive and that led to me buying them from another place. The prices in terms of the laptops being sold are pretty good. But again I would go somewhere else to buy a laptop. Customers I have spoken to have said they would come back to this shop and get their laptops repaired. The wait was not that long which was one reason why they said they would return. Staff are really helpful and they do know their stuff.

But there is a fine line between a certain ambience and outright squalor (take for instance the rehearsal complex in Birmingham I once visited which had a dead pigeon rotting in an open lift shaft and holes in the stairs. No such problems at Hockley Street Studios, which is neither soullessly spotless or seriously dilapidated. I've been using rehearsal spaces in and around Birmingham for about 14 years and Hockley Street Studios is the one I've used the most over the last 8 years and have rented a lock-up there for the last two and a half years. All the staff are friendly and are themselves musicians. It's the kind of place where they soon get to know you. Rehearsal spaces can get expensive but this studio has a small room which can be rented for £5 an hour. The amps and PAs in the by-the-hour rooms work, there's a free pool table and there's no holes in the stairs. My one minor quibble is they rarely sell single strings, which is a pain in the backside if, like me, you're always snapping your high E

This amount is reduced is you share your lockup. There are drinks and snacks available, a free pool table and a lounge to hang in and the studios put on a number of parties throughout the year. Recommendation - Room 19 is the room to use for rehearsals!

When I say they do a wide range of watches, that's something of an understatement. They have A LOT of very nice timepieces in this place. And a little pond with fish! This contributes towards the relaxed atmosphere that is sometimes missing from jewellery shops. The Creative Watch Co doesn't seem to give off the 'hard sell' vibe. The showroom(s) is/ are much nicer than the exterior. As this was the venue of our Yelp event I didn't purchase anything on the day, but am sure to come back here if I'm planning on buying anything of the sort.

We used CG when we found ourselves in a pickle on a business trip where one of our laptop screens…read morehad been broken in transit. As our laptops are integral to our business we had to get them fixed en route and luckily CG was nearby so we gave them a call. We spoke to a lovely gent named Ian and we popped in store to drop of the laptop and headed out to carry on our business. We arrived back late afternoon and the laptop was all ready to go, and looked better than ever! The price was great for such a quick turn around, and the gents that carried out our repairs were incredibly professional. They clearly have a passion for the industry and their customer service was impeccable. Thank you Ian and the team! Fantastic service!

There tailoring service is very common over there (you can find one on almost every street) and its very cheap. When she moved to Birmingham with me, I think one of the first things she asked me was if there was a place she could get her clothes adjusted. I honestly could not answer, it's not the sort of service I've ever really needed before. While mooching around the Indoor Market in the city centre we found City Tailoring. Prices might not be as cheap as in Brazil, but it is still pretty cheap, certainly not as expensive as I thought it would be. To shorten legs, for example, it will cost £7. They even fix leather jackets, I thought this would be much more expensive but it only costs around £15 to shorten the arms. It's not only shortening they do, they take care of all kinds of alterations, fit new buttons and zips, reline jackets they even make curtains. It's all really cheap and the guy there is a nice fella. There is a quick turnaround and they always look busy. Looks like a good place for any basic tailoring needs!

So worth it! I'll be going back in future. Thanks John.
