I had rats making noises in my roof making it hard to sleep. Tried using the rat bait products without much success so I decided to give Stewarts Pest Control a go. After talking to David over the phone I made arrangements for him to come and have a look the next day. He dealt with my problem with the cheeriest manner and was able to explain what I could expect in the coming days. He also assured me that if I was still experiencing any problems, noises etc he'd return and repeat the process. David was a great bloke to talk with and I really liked his manner and advice.

I have been to see both Peter and Karen the vets this week with my cat Tiger (twice) and my daughter's kitten Beemo who both have serious problems and both vets were fantastic with their knowledge in cat illnesses. My daughter is even changing Vets as she was so impressed by Karen. The staff are so sympathetic and concerned and they do their best to help where they can. The clinics prices are also very reasonable and I highly recommend them to everyone who loves their pets. Oh and one more thing they take in injured wildlife, treat them for free and the foster them out to wildlife carers until they can be released again.

If you're looking for the unusual type of gift that is for a religious celebration eg: first holy communion and confirmation they have quite a lovely selection to choose from. They also have gifts for romantic and funky style events and have cards to suit almost every occasion as well. Not too exspensive however they do not give out refunds only store credit. This is the first place I go to when I want something out of the ordinary. Staff are pleasant too.

Couldn't get anything for my niece I decided to get a gift voucher. That way she can buy al the stationary and notebook style things in any colour she desired.

I went to Bunning a few days ago looking for specific items. When I couldn't find what I needed the staff went out of their way to help, even getting the products for me. They were very helpful and I left the store with what I wanted and no stress.

I recently bought a new Apple iphone 4 as part of my mobile phone contract. The staff were really helpful explaining how to use my phone and the various different options it contained. They were very good at suggesting which plan would suit me best and I have not been disappointed by their help

If you can't find what you want for your craft, manchester or fabric project it probably doesn't exist. I have always used Spotlight staff's knowledge if I have a problem and come out pleased and knowing what to do. There's plenty for the kids to do in the craft department and sparky's covers all your party needs. Go have a look you won't be dissappointed.

If you are after anything Dutch this is the place to go. They have the best range of Dutch licorice and imported foods. They are always restocking and the only time they might be short of products is when the stock is held up on the wharf. They are open from Tues-Sun and closed Mondays. I have known people to travel great distances just to go there
