Got a review in the Telegraph on Saturday. Don't usually get the paper but they were out of The Times. Looks like they do a random shop review every week. Main comment was on how they don't seem to do hardware any more but sell a load of 'pile it high, sell it cheap' tat. Sort of a QVC but without mail order. Got 1 and a half stars out of 5.

Basically, they said it was shite.

I like the electric salt/pepper mills that come with what is basically a mini floodlight on the bottom.

As if it can really be a problem seeing where on your plate your pepper is falling...

 

[Dave the OAP]

yes but that is the Telegraph.

I bet their reviewer shops at Harrods

Hours of endless fun ( and possible menace of the pikey neighbours)

Can't see why, all the stuff is brand name, the only difference being that you don't pay the earth for it.
Why should they do hardware, they can't compete with the large DIY chains, so it's a sensible business model.

Sounds about right. It's great if you aren't bothered about your new purchase falling to bits after 6 months, fairly poor if you're looking to purchase quality products.

not being overawed by your photos.

sounds quite similar to tj hughes and others.

bid up tv and price drop are great for buying utter shite stuff if you want to dabble them.

The Robert Dyas in Western Road in Brighton is rumoured to be haunted. Going down into the basements is not for the faint hearted. Many staff refused to work in the basements after being scared by some of the strange things that happened down there!

 

[Normal Rob]

how bizarre - i've just returned from town where i bought a carbon monoxide detector in said shop!

 

[sir danny cullip]

They pay shit wages though, was speaking to a guy at college today that works there and he gets £3.90 an hour

 

[glasfryn]

have you never heard of wilkinsons,not many down south but we have on in Llanelli and lets say this if they ever open in brighton they will put a lot of the so called national stores out of business in the city

I just bought 2 sets of Tefal/Jamie Oliver pans/griddles/etc. Exactly the same as the ones in Debenhams.

RD's total price for 2 different sets: £198.98.

Debenhams' price for same: £420.

Seems alright to me quality wise....
