Though, a bit of research will tell you if you want something printed the internet is invariably going to give you a better deal, but that involves waiting, so for quick results Greyhound is a good choice. They're fairly new in this shop, being here for about a year, and seem to be doing pretty well. The staff are helpful, and are pretty useful on the phone too, giving quotes very speedily and getting our order under way at a fast rate. They have a long list of services advertised on the front window - I needed some flyers when I used them, but they'll pretty much do anything of a commercial or private nature - even cashing in on the festive season with personalised christmas card printing.

It's not the cheapest printer in Bristol, and like Jon B says, you are probably better off scouring the web.

Brunel Tailoring is a curiously named business in more ways than one. As far as I'm aware, Isambard…read moreKingdom Brunel didn't apply his copious design skills to the field of couture! And being owned and run by an Afghan Family you wouldn't expect this name to have been the most obvious choice. Established two years ago this small business has been doing very well. It's forged friendships with other businesses on Gloucester Road that provide regular income, such as Billie Jean Clothing, another concern that is weathering the recession well. As well as making new garments and curtains from scratch, Brunel Tailoring have a nifty sideline in repairs and alterations. I've never taken advantage of their tailoring services, so I can't vouch for that, but I had three items altered recently, all for the incredibly affordable price of £14.00! Saraj, the owner, comes from a family with a long tailoring tradition in his home country, and was savvy enough to work for an Italian tailoring company when he first came to the UK. When ready, he decided to branch out on his own. A brave move in a volatile economy! But at the price I am sure that he'll continue to do well.

This shop seems slightly out of place amongst the endless burger and chip bars.

As I walked closer to the window I realised I had nothing to fear. The shop was soooo cheap! I needed some trousers shortening for work and was pleased to see it was only £9. They also do zip repairs for only £3. First impressions aren't always correct!

The staff are very eager to please although, not meaning to be rude, some of them slightly live up to the faux-pas-full, uncomfortable speech that plagues the film-nerd stereotype. One of my friends got hopelessly stuck between two pillars. Clearly feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed she wasn't helped by his comment 'well at least you tried to get through'. Still we should not judge an computer repair man on his social grace, we should judge him on his ability to fix a computer. That is exactly what they are able to do the vast majority of the time, at no extra cost to the student so the place is hard to fault. N.B. Turn up at 2.00 on the dot to avoid a long wait.

This is the third in a very successful chain of computer repair shops. Essentially what they do is…read morevery simple: they fix computers and all your computer related problems. They fix Macs, they fix laptops, they provide parts and they provide servicing umm, services. Should your electronic steed have something of a breakdown they can facilitate, worming out the problem and recovering the data. They can even help you out with building a website, choosing anti-viral software and fixing your games consoles. In brief then, these guys are absolute gems.

In the site around the corner from Temple Meads, they're also a wood workshop and reclaimation yard - I picked up a very nice antique chest from here to use as a coffee table. They deliver and collect recycled wood from all around the city and like the Sofa Project they also help out people with social problems, so they're a social enterprise as well as being completely green.

They have all sorts of furniture here that have been donated, which they sell on to the public quite cheaply! So if you're looking for something for the house that won't break the bank, check this place out before you head to Ikea for something new. They also have a small workshop on site where they can make simple furniture pieces from the wood that you choose. It's such a great concept, so do pop on by if at any time you think you need any wood or anything made out of it!

After moving around a little I finally settled comfortably in the second user market. It suited my desire to live sustainably, (I used to obsess about the damage we were doing to the planet way before I was obliged to, i.e. before they even recycled our rubbish, let alone considered penalising us for putting recyclable waste in our landfill refuse). I really like these little shop based second user companies that cater to the domestic market that are springing up around the place. I guess that it's the more stringent rulings governing the disposal of commercial technical waste that is forcing companies to find more responsible means of disposing of their obsolete technology, some of which may be only a year old. This is where sfx Tech comes into it's own. They can turn this stock around, selling it on as is or applying a little technical wizardry they can adapt it for the home user market. Great. It means affordable computing for all and a green plant. Of course, they can also repair an existing system, if you have one already, and there's no need to upgrade to a faster or bigger model. The also retail new kit which is likely to be predominantly bankrupt stock, as well as consumables like cartridges etc.
