Takes several weeks to persuade this lot to remove scaffolding after jobs are finished, meaning other jobs are delayed. Promised to come on several occasions and never showed up.

A busy chip shop with a remarkably efficient ordering system - although a dodgy grasp of written English, judging by the name of their shop. Mind you, nice fresh fish and good size portions make this 'plaice' a winner...

Nestled off the beaten track within easy reach of some lovely country walks on the South Downs. Friendly welcome and Timothy Taylor's Landlord on tap.

Traditional English food by the seaside. This place serves the largest English breakfast I think I have ever seen. If that's not enough you can even order double! Small place, but spotlessly clean and very friendly.

If you are interested in naval or military history, or just the history of Great Britain, this is a good place to visit. You can stand aboard HMS Victory on the very spot where Nelson was shot at Trafalgar. It's a shame the entrance fee is very high but your ticket is valid for a year.

There isn't much that this place doesn't sell. All the main brands plus their own label stuff, bulk packs of food, loose feeds and treats.. the list goes on. Competitive pricing and helpful staff.

I've used Mike to find me a good deal on a mortgage several times over the years and he's always been able to help me out. He's a really nice guy and will go out of his way to help you find a good deal. Really knows the business well and highly recommended.

Nice to be treated like a valued customer instead of a naughty boy when going to the dentist. Also the techniques they use don't hurt and don't make your whole face go numb. Brilliant. I've had to see two different dentists so far due to staff turnover, otherwise they'd get a 5 star rating.

The Burger Bar is my first call if I fancy a cooked breakfast - for example, when nursing a hangover! Scrupulously clean, friendly staff and good honest fast food.

The only army surplus store in Milton Keynes, with a reasonable range of British surplus, camo nets and foreign clothing. Boots, shoes, hats, waterproofs plus a good range of hardware.
