I decided to take up cycling around a year ago and purchased a bicycle.

The staff member was able to provide all the advice to ensure I did not spend an unnecessary amount of money while I still obtained a high quality bike which was adjusted to my size.

I was also advised which accessories I should purchase both initially and as time has passed.

The subsequent services offered since purchase have been beneficial to ensure maximise the useful life of my bike.

After purchasing an electric shave a year ago, the blades required replacement. I returned to the store where I purchased the shaver.

Their advice on shavers, foils and blades have simplified shaving and esured it is a much more comfotable experience.

I recently visited this store to purchase an ADSL router. With limited knowledge of the products capabilities I was able to locate the area in the shop with these items. A staff member approached me and was able to explain to me with ease of the advantages and disadvantages of the various products. I was recommended a product which would not become obsolete in the near future and was competitively priced.

Upon ordering, the staff prepared our two meals using fresh ingredients in the front of the shop before our eyes. The preparation time was minimal and the packaging ensures the meal is hot upon arrival at home.

The size of the serve was very large and the cost was low. The flavour of the sauces and freshness of ingredients ensures a tasty meal.
