Anyone knows if there is such place around the area? I'm interested on joining as a hobby & of course to learn new skills.

Definitely a mobile shop is needed Carphone, 4U, O2 etc.

I mean seriously....for the price they charge you might as well go to a hairdresser in central London like Fenwicks, Hebe, etc. They are locally based which means overhead expensewise it is nowhere near if they are in the West End or Mayfair, or anywhere central...BUT they still criminally charge for a bloody simple haircut esp if you only have a short hair!!!! These hairdressers are really taking the piss thinking they're so damn exclusive!!!(6)

How about a travel agency? It would be nice to be able to talk f2f with someone for advice/comments/etc. Also Jamie's Recipease.

Hey thanks guys re Merrifields...didn't know that!:))

ED could do with a shoe repair shop & jewellery/repair shop. Any others...

Ah I suppose our experience was rather different as we became quite firendly with the owner & her daughter. So that everytime we order either takeaway or eat in & always asked for specific way of cooking , say fish or any other dish, they're quite compliant. I asked the veg shop next door the other day & he said that she probably just retired.

I always wanted/curious to know why this lovely & only decent chinese restaurant in the area closed down. It's our second fav restaurant whenever we couldn't be bothered to go to Chinatown. Any idea why it closed down?

My nephew (with his other friends) appeared on Judge Judy to give evidence on behalf of the defendant & won.....does that count?;-)

So far so good...:)

Oh that's good to know....thanks. Anyone else?

I've been with O2 for years (T-Mobile before that) and never had problems with them at all. But now I'm getting a Blackberry Bold & Orange has the cheapest tariff rate for this ie ?24.00/mo for 18 mo contract & I paid ?78 for the phone which I can switch to PAYG after 18 mos as long as I pay min ?10 for top-up which is no big deal. But I'll appreciate any opinions re Orange as I have 7 days to decide if I want to go ahead. Thanks.
