excellent physiotherapists, they have a swimming pool there which makes it good for relieving back pain and hydrotherapy.

I buy my goldfish /tropical fish, plants & pellets/flakes there. They used to have a Vietnamese guy at the fish section who was extremely knowledgeable & good to get advice about, service was great but in the last year or so the fish section has been empty of staff, I had to get staff from the cashier to serve me. On the latest visit, most of my fish died except for the guppies I bought, so they must have introduced some sort of disease into my tank. It's a shame they don't look after their fish as well as they used to, there are some dead fish in their tanks that makes it look bad for business, especially when they've been there for ages, with only bones left.

sometimes long queues, many people with woolworths vouchers; I find the one in Mirrabooka shopping centre to be cheaper but you have to wait even longer there if peak hour or peak hours ( >1/2hr wait)

some good deals at times, but emails can get annoyingly frequent; if you like torpedo 7, also check out wiggle from UK, Evans cycles from UK, they are also free shipping and much cheaper than Australia. If you're looking for branded jersy + knicks for

one of my favourite computer stores. It helps if you do your research before, as they are a small store with not much on display, so they specialise for the 'nerdy types'. You pay at the counter, get an invoice which you have to bring to the neighbouring warehouse counter to collect the parts. You get cheap parts if you know what youre looking for. They will price match too, so get the cheapest price from PLE, MCG Tech, NetPlus etc. before you go.

This review is for Tiamo Cafe Restaurant, Nedlands WA

I went there once, when I was at UWA, but never went back. I bought a pasta, something with a fancy name, but it tasted like any other pasta. One of my friends used to work at Spices, the local grocery store and said he delivered food to Tiamo. He said, the almost rotten tomatos /veges that they would put in the rubbish, or put on sale, they would deliver them to Tiamo. He used to laugh at this saying something like almost rotten tamatos, which cost less than $1, they would use it in their pasta sauce and then charge you over $25.

I got them to fix the faulty wiring in the loung room, of my house built in 1960s. Other electricians told me I may need to rewire the house, but he was honest and told me the house had wiring that fits current standards. But when I asked him to put this in writing, he refused to do it. He said there was no way of checking other wiring around the house (but I got another quote from GA Parry, who told me this was possible, simply by doing the Meghar test ). A call out fee of $130/hr plus $95 call out fee is expected (which if you shop around, can get a better deal e.g Dirk from Admiral Electrical only $30 call out fee). Too bad Dirk only works around Ocean Reef ( he did come to Mt Lawley).

Approximate cost: $500

This review is for Bike Force, Morley WA

Many expensive bikes on sale, fair range of stock, but very expensive. I was looking for road bike clothes, and the cheapest one was more expensive than other bike stores. I looked at their "on sale" section, and the prices were still above $100 for bike jersy or knits, but with holes in them or other defects. Don't bother with this bike store, I now get my stuff delivered for free from either wiggle or evans cycles. I bought a bike pump for $80 but should have waited to buy elsewhere for same bike pump cost $30. I went to buy a bike tool for truing mavic wheels, they didn't have it in stock, and said I had to wait for it to come in and would cost $50. I subsequently went to another bike store, Liberty Bikes in Morley, who gave it to me for free! (apparently you get it free anyway, because they come packaged with any Mavic wheelset). I know Bike Force sponsor many bike events, and with many franchises around, they must be doing well to afford all that advertising. I guess many people are lazy and don't shop around or don't do their research.

A small local bicyle shop, very honest and fair, great prices. I was looking for a wheel truing tool for my Mavic kysirium tyres, as I bought it second hand, it did not come with the tool (you get it free if you buy a new Mavic wheelset). I rang around and not only did this store stock them, but also gave it to me for free! I actually wen to the wrong bicycle store, as I thought this one was Avanti Plus who were going to charge me $15 for it. Lucky I didn't go there. (They had no clue what to charge me, I told them it cost $12 on ebay and they said they'll charge me $15) Its not the cost but to get something for free these days means this guys very honest. I felt sorry for the owner, so I bought a bike lube for $17. I went back to exchange it for another lube (one for all purpose, not dry weather), and no hassles. This guy is great. I went to several bicycle stores around Morley, the worse is probably Bike Force Morley (They are such a rip off, I bought a bicycle pump from there for $80 and the same pump cost $30 elsewhere), if only I knew this store before I would always come here instead.

I called him many times, he did not respond to calls, his previous mobile number was 0415784884. He promised to come and do a job that day but did not do it, didn't even ring up to say he couldn't do it. I only now realise he changed his number.
