Select & Save is one of those odd little shops with a bewildering range of tupperware, cleaning…read moreproducts, lightbulbs, and other hardware items stacked on high shelves in narrow aisles that you have to go backwards down if you see someone coming the other way. Very useful places, in other words. The goods are very cheap indeed, although with at least two other, similar shops on King St, it is probably worth shopping around if you're on a very tight budget. Absolutely the best thing about this shop is the sign in the window which says We sell boxes for cake. I would really like to try offering them a cake in exchange for a box someday, but I don't know if they'd see the funny side.

If you have a trolley you have to move things out of the way including steps. This is a health and safety issue but the manager just ignores you, I will not be using the store anymore.

So one afternoon came back home from a long day out with my mum and my daughter, three generations…read more Got my keys, I was dying to got to the toilet and the baby was beginning to be hungry, you can imagine the urgency. Surprise, Surprise! My key would not open the door, I struggled for about 15 minutes before I decided it was time to call someone. My first attempt was this hardware store, which surprised me as it has a quite a lot to offer in such tiny premises. I think the seller saw my angst because his first question was; 'are you o.k?' I nodded. I explained the situation and he said it would cost me about £80 to have the door opened, I couldn't believe my ears! Apparently weekend rates are even worse... I felt he really wanted to help me, but when I thought of my second idea (to ring the estate agents, hopefully they were open and had a key), I said; 'thank you but that is too much' and then he responded by saying that if left it for longer it would be too late, as the locksmith might go on another job. As he finished with his sentence I felt as if he was giving an ultimatum, now or never! I didn't like that so I left. He did however, offered to file my key which could have helped (it didn't, but he did that for free). Fortunately, my second idea turned out to be the best idea (read the review for Dexters to find out how this story unravelled)

They seemed to have a good range of electrical goods but not as good as some of the High street / national companies, The television I saw seemed to be selling at typical Sony prices' so I was slightly put off, Not being up on what is good value for money and what isn't, I cannot see the point in buying a Sony from these guy's when I can buy a Toshiba for a lot less ? Maybe the point is in the fact that Sony are far better than a lot of others brands, something I am not sure about. That said helpful and friendly staff made my visit pleasant enough.
