Review of Vac Shop

29 May 08, 16:25

Bargain 3*

I have been looking all over the internet for bags for my Miele pets vacuum cleaner. I was prepared to pay a fortune and just dropped in on the off chance - dead cheap. Thanks.

Review of Reba Mortgage Shop

29 May 08, 16:24

Good deal. 3*

I am a 'high risk' borrower apparently so it was a relief to get a deal. Cheaper than i expected but I am tied in for five years. Friendly and pleasant staff

Review of Loft Shop

29 May 08, 16:23

Haggle 3*

Don't be afraid to haggle here - they present themselves as a shop but let's face it they are a builders! They do a great job though and follow building regs to the letter

Do your own repairs! 3*

Do your own repairs! they don't charge too much really but I actually stood and watched them repair the brake on the front of my bike the other day and it looks easy!

Review of Farm Shop & General Stores

29 May 08, 15:36

Cheap 3*

Don't confuse this place with Farm shops as in eggs with stw all over them - this is more like your budget large supermarkety. Serious bargains on offer especially the foreign biscuits

Review of Joe's Barber Shop

29 May 08, 15:35

Leagrave's finest 3*

OK you are not going to get a catwalk cut here but what you can expect is a decent cut (short back and sides in my case) for only six quid. Bargain and they even give you a cuppa

Review of Meedou Take Away Food Shops

29 May 08, 15:34

Yummy kebabs 3*

Yummy kebabs here. The lamb kebab is made out the back on Thursday afternoons, ready for the weekend. You can see the cuts of meat he uses - not too fatty and decent colour.,

Review of Suit Shop

For the larger man 3*

Review of Pinar Take Away Food Shops

Pizza and Southern Fried Chicken 3*

Pizza and Southern Fried Chicken is what you can expect here. I would reccomend you stick to the chicken as it tastes even better thab KFC. No idea how they do it!

Review of Vision Shop

29 May 08, 15:24

Telly heaven 3*

They have all sorts in here but the one which rocks my world is a forty incher lcd which pauses and rewinds live TV. Oh my god I want it and am saving up right now

Review of Karls Shop

29 May 08, 15:23

Bargain Booze. 4*

I should say that i know Karl, so have an interest. The prices speak for themselves though. If you buy a mized case of 12 bottles of wine, he'll give you 20% off.

Review of Jae's Take Away Food Shops

Lovely Kebab 3*

I work in Luton as a DJ sometimes and I do like to come and get my dinner here when short of time. Delicious and not too unhealthy either, especially the chicken option with lemon juice

Review of Windsor Body Shop

29 May 08, 15:15

Good job 3*

Did a good job on the old Vectra even if oit did take a little while. I did notice a scuff on the bumper that wasn't there before the job and they sorted it without complaint

Review of Learning Shop

29 May 08, 15:11

I was sceptical 3*

I was sceptical at first but my work sent me on a course to get to know Windows. They are patient and take you through things slowly until you get your confidence. No idea about value as work paid.

Review of Private Shop

29 May 08, 15:10

Naughty 3*

But Nice. Private does look sleazy but once inside it's not all that bad. Prices have come down since you could get stuff off the internet. My only complaint is that the shop seems half empty. Better than Ann Summers

Review of Handy Bag Shop

29 May 08, 15:09

Value 3*

Me and the wife can't seem to walk past without getting a new bag. They do the Radley range and it seems about 20 percent cheaper than the bigger shops. We have half of the shop in our house

Review of Nail Shop

29 May 08, 15:08

Quality 3*

I can recommend this place. They don't use daft words like Nail Technician - they just get on and do a good quality job. They aren't the cheapest but then sometimes you just have to treat yourdself!

Review of The Tanning Shop

29 May 08, 15:07

Nice place 3*

I am a fan of this place. I have been to too many which don't really look after the hygiene department! These people keep the changing areas and beds immaculate and free from dreades curly hairs!

Review of First Choice Travel Shops

29 May 08, 15:03

A fan 4*

Me andd the Mrs organised out honeymoon here. Nothing was too much trouble but then we did spend a lot. Before you commit to all included, call the suggested hotel and see if you can get a better deal

Review of Comotion Brew Shop

29 May 08, 15:02

Love a brew 3*

I do love a brew from this place - the take away cappucino with extra chocolate flakes is a killer drink. I like the fact that you get a little biscuit for free whether you take away or not

Review of GB's Fashion Shops

29 May 08, 15:00

Come for jeans 3*

Come for jeans - they have loads and range in price from dead cheap right up to £90 a pri for Ted Baker and Diesel. They do have short leg jeans which pleases me no end as they are hard to find

Review of The Tuck Shop

29 May 08, 14:59

Nice place 3*

I found the holy grail of tuck shops. They do those Crimbles chocolate dipped coconut macaroonsa for only £1.29 here. They are gorgeous even if there is 9g of fat in each one.

Review of The Orange Shop

29 May 08, 14:57

Ooh La La 3*

Well, what a flsahy shop. I wish they could stop mucking about with daft dxeal names and silly bolt on options and just offer good prices here. I use my phone a lot for my disco business and the Orange bill is always too high

Review of BW Book Shop

29 May 08, 14:56

Small but useful 3*

This place is a lot smaller - maybe that's just because I am used to Borders in Milton Keynes now. You can find good specialist fishing books here and if they don't have them they will order them in

Review of Brigandi Tailoring Shop

29 May 08, 14:54

Not as expensive as you might think. 3*

Not as expensive as you might think, for a tailor made suit I was charged only three hundred quid. Lovely silky lining and lightweight summer wool. Nice One

Review of The Perfume Shop

29 May 08, 14:53

Cheap and cheerful 3*

Yes, too true. The perfect antidote to those department stores here in Luton who just want to have a posh counter, overpaid staff and charge you for it! Good work ladies.

Review of The Body Shop

29 May 08, 14:52

Lovely 3*

The wife always drags me in here. I got burned fishing a couple of weeks ago and she got me some of their natural after sun stuff. By jove the stuff is nothing short of miraculous

Review of Top Shop Retail

29 May 08, 14:51

Not just ladies 3*

Cheap stuff here. I tend to buy premuim brands which last but for summer gear you can't fault this place. They pile it high and don't charge much. The sunnies are dead cheap.

Review of Sea Star Fish Shop

29 May 08, 14:50

Good plaice - geddit? 3*

I do like a good fish pun. The fish here is better than the chips. Lovely and fresh, crisp light batter and cooked for the perfect time. If the chips could be just a bit fatter it would be perfect

Review of Hair Shop

29 May 08, 14:49

Nice place. 3*

I do get my highlights done about once every six weeks. I have to be honest I am a tart and like to try lots of places. I will come back here though as it was a first class job. Good colour choices.

Review of Baby Shop

29 May 08, 14:47

Lovely 3*

I made an inpulse buy here which had my sister (recipient of gift) in stitches. It was a little baby vest with poppers at the bottom which simply said 'party, my crib, three AM - you're invited'

GENIUS

Review of Morina Leathergoods Shops

29 May 08, 14:45

Arndale Leather 3*

Before you make a large purchase in Next or somewhere like that it's worth checking to make sure the same style or similar isn't in here - if it is there'll be about 50% off

Review of The Fragrance Shop

29 May 08, 14:44

I do like this place 3*

I do like this place especially if I have some making up to do with the Mrs. She seems to forget our problems when a well chosen bargain priced bottle of sniff lands in her lap

Review of Fair Deal World Shop

29 May 08, 14:43

African heaven 3*

The African carvings here are exquisite! they aren't that expensive too, some of the little giraffes are only six pounds. Even if the bigger ones cost more it's for a good cause

Review of The Sandwich Shop

29 May 08, 14:42

Nice. 3*

Best place for snacks on Upper George Street. Nightmare for stopping at in fact you can't park your car outside. They do know to do the sarnies quick though which is useful at lunchtime

Review of Pasque Hospice Shop

29 May 08, 14:41

Good Cause 3*

I do try and spend a quid or two extra here because the Pasque shop is close to my heart. It's worth perusing some of the nic nacs as there are some really good finds, including my granite cat for a fiver

Review of First Class Brass

29 May 08, 14:36

Good place 3*
