    Sorry Bo-Concept - but I really was not impressed…read more Yes, you have a lot of attractive furniture. Yes, some of your smaller homeware pieces aren't too overpriced (especially in the sale). But that's where my positives stop. First up, for a so-called upmarket furniture store, I thought this place was actually really grubby. A bit of floor mopping wouldn't have gone amiss, and you'd have been wise to have removed the used coffee cups from your £400 dining tables. Secondly, your staff were not welcoming. We were given some really dirty looks by a certain member of your staff, and that was even before I'd (quite loudly) complained about the aforementioned coffee cups. And thirdly - a piece of your pretentious £350 "artwork" (you know the type, where someone has typed out a lot of cliched so-called life advice on a canvas in different fonts) had a pretty serious spelling mistake in it. And don't try telling me that was intentional. Next time I want to spend a large chunk of my hard earned cash on some furniture - I won't be doing it here.

    Ah, The Bo Concept. I've always gazed in those hallowed windows wishing for the day to come where I…read morecould spent 50 quid on a trendy cushion. Went in for the first time today because after reading those last wonderful reviews, I was overcome with morbid curiosity! Poe-faced Concept doesn't fail to disappoint on the arrogance front - although I wasn't given the cold, hard stare I expected from staff, I was largely ignored by them, which suited me fine since I could act like a fly on the wall and be left in peace. I obviously look poor - that's fine guys, it's entirely true! But you can't condemn a girl for dreaming! Since I've been subtly branded a poor working class girl, my cankered fingers had to surrepticiously reach for the price tag...I had to stop my jaw from dropping when I saw it was 150 quid for an EX DISPLAY lamp. Yes, that's right - Ex Display. Bugger off. Even if there ever comes a day when i have money to burn frivolously on items such as these, I doubt I would ever bother. Sure, they looked pretty but seriously, get real. If you were loaded, some trendy items in here may appeal - some of the stock is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, this place lacks the innovation and laid back vibe of Habitat, nor does it possess the charm and imaginative quirk of its West End rivals. It announces new arrivals in the window like we should roll out the red carpet for their overpriced (but, got to admit, nice) sofas - there's just something a bit off about this place. By all means go for a browse as they have some lovely stock but interior design competition has sprung up all over the place. So although Bo Concept may have been top dog a few years back, it's going to have to change its stand offish aura before it can attract a wider audience. And as Eleanor said, the richest people are quite often the least likely to flaunt it, so never judge a book by its deceptively dog-eared cover. You'll lose business if you do.

    Bob's Locks is now our local locksmith/key-cutter. - We'd just moved to a new place and, whilst the…read morelandlord had warned us of the temperamental front door lock, we were having real difficulty getting in and out of the flat. - No good thing so soon in to the lease, of course. Luckily, our landlord agreed to have someone from Bob's Locks out to look at the lock and they were able to come out that same day. Bob's Locks were prompt and, after the initial look over the tricky lock in question, said they'd be in correspondence with our landlord then come back later in the day to fix it, presuming our landlord was happy to go ahead. We had plans later in the day so we stressed that it would be best if the lock was changed ASAP or tomorrow at an arranged time. A Bob's Lock guy came out again speedily and the lock was changed super fast, meaning that we we were free to enjoy the sunshine with the reassurance that we'd be able to get back into the flat hassle-free. Everyone we'd encountered was friendly and helpful, and talked us through everything along the way. Two keys were included with the change of lock, so we needed an additional key. We were needing another key copied anyway so we popped round to Bob's Locks where, once again, it was a speedy and pleasant experience. It cost £12 to get the two keys cut. The one thing I can't comment on is the cost of the change of lock, since this is something my landlord covered. However, based on my experience with Bob's Locks, I'm willing to give my local locksmith the full five stars, and I'll be back if I've any lock/key needs.

    Lock on our front door been a bit dodgy so went to Bob's Locks and asked the guy if we could get…read moresomeone to come sort it. He was pleasant enough and we arranged for it to be done between 10-11 the next day and says they'll give us a ring if they're running late at all. Next day arrives and no show by eleven. At half eleven I go for a quick shower as I need to start getting on with my day, I step out the shower, look out my window and see a Bob's Locks van driving away! No ring of the doorbell, no phonecall, just a business card posted through the letterbox. Will not be using again.
