'mensch'


This is my word of the month, HB.


Well done for dropping it into a thread with such wild abandon and double points as it's in a sentence alongside a triple 'Barry'.


I thought you were starting to lose your form - I see how wrong I was and for that I am thankful.

I've only been into Boss Man a couple of times but to have found them friendly and like their selection of imported beer (I have an unstoppable urge to buy and try new beers when I see them).....but I'm new here so what do I know ;)


Will have to check out Barry Off License sometime too, haven't ventured down that end of Barry rd much as yet.

I was very dubious of the bossman when he opened, now i think he's great for when the Majestic stash is drained dry. Just round the corner, good selection of workaday reds, not bad for ales, cheap bbq lager for the weekend. What more do you want? There are plenty of other places to get the posh stuff when your father-in-law is coming.

For those of you who have mentioned Nicholas as a place to buy something special, I would be interested to hear why you prefer them to Green & Blue. I ask only because it is always interesting to get feedback to see what we can do to improve our service. I am certainly not knocking Nicholas, who do a great job, but was more wondering just out of interest - we may well learn something that helps us run a better shop!


I'm not asking the same question of Bossman just because we don't really try and compete with them as they do more beer etc than we can.


Any thoughts or comments gratefully received though if this takes the subject off topic i don't want to make Admin cross, so feel free to PM me if necessary!

re G&B... whether it's true or not, I've always had the perception that it's a notch above Nicholas price-wise, so I might go into Nicholas instead for that reason.


And although I know it's a complete cop-out... for those of us who don't know much about wine, it can seem a little intimidating buying wine from a shop who specialise in small producers who you've almost certainly never heard of before.

I find the opposite. I buy from Green and Blue because I don?t know much about wine. The staff/owners as well informed, the wines are well described and (because I suspect they are quite selective on what they put on the shelves) I have not yet been disappointed by any of their wines.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
