Watch battery

Crikey, having done a search and found this thread, I just went to Timpsons to get my watch battery replaced.


I thought the guy said it would be ?1.95, and I went off to do some shopping in Sainsbury's while he did it.


When I went to collect it, it turned out to be ?9.95!!!!!


So he took the battery out again ......


My watch is a bog standard Casio. It's cheaper for me to get a new one, in fact I've just ordered one for just over a fiver with free delivery.


I realise I need to get my hearing tested, however a tenner for replacing a watch battery seems exorbitant to me. If memory serves, the nice man who used to have a stall in the market where Brick House is now didn't charge anything like that??

Not strictly in ED but I go to the man just inside the Peckham Arcade on the right who charges ?5. That said, I get mad each time as on very single occasion I've been there he serves men in the queue first, regardless of the fact that the women are waiting their turn patiently. I always speak up as it drives me crackers and he sighs and then serves me. I do like a bargain but I emerge furious every time!

    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
