what a job! 
At one stage my ideal job was to work in the gadget shop, but then I realised I'd have to serve people and I couldn't just play around with everything all day, so I quickly shelved that plan. But if you're looking for a birthday/Christmas present for someone who's really difficult to buy for then head to the gadget shop - I almost guarantee you will find something! You'll also find a load of other things that you won't be able to stop playing with... I reckon if I had a million pounds I could easily spend half of it in this shop!!!

Review of Sony Centre
04 May 08, 13:25
Sony as far as the eye can see! 
This is one of those places I occasionally pop in to look at the expensive stuff and dream to myself "one day.... one day..." Usually it's just at this point when one of the very attentive and helpful members of staff approaches me and asks if they can help at all. Well, unless they have any career plans for me then the answer is usually a no but they do stock a large range of other Sony products too...

Review of Tezco

quality local elecrical retailer...
Do you see what they've done with the name there? Do you see? It's just coincidence of course that it sounds very much like a large supermarket chain because actually this place is not a supermarket at all - in fact it's a very small independent electrical retailer which has the benefit of staff who are experienced, who know what they're talking about, and who don't mess you around! Excellence indeed!

Review of Centre MK

The best shopping centre in miles
This is the closest “everything under one roof” shopping centre I know of within 50 miles of Flitwick.
They really do have everything here – there’s clothes, shoes, food, drink, household – the lot.
Plus every big department store you can think of – a massive John Lewis, BHS, Debenhams, House of Fraser – what more could you ask for?
And the best bit – free parking (if you know where to look!)

Review of The Secklow Hundred

Cheaper than them nextdoor
To the best of my knowledge, there are four Weatherspoon pubs in central MK, and this is one of the 2 ‘Lloyds No 1 Bar’ branded ones.
It’s ideally located nextdoor to the far more expensive (and far less down-to-earth) All Bar One (see my separate review), so here’s a tip:
If you’re going on a blind date (through t’interweb or what have you), arrange to meet them in All Bar One (it’s a bit posher inside), then after one, move nextdoor to spoons for cheaper food and drink, better service and louder music.

Review of All Bar One

Good location... 
Shame about the staff, drink prices and pretentious clientele.
A beer in here can easily set you back £3 a time, which would be reasonable if it represented VALUE. But to qualify for the word ‘value’ in a review, the establishment needs to offer a decent service.
Sadly, that’s not the case here; the staff are very rude and a few of the customers ought to get over themselves. In the meantime, I’m popping next-door to Lloyds!
