Crikey, having done a search and found this thread, I just went to Timpsons to get my watch battery replaced.


I thought the guy said it would be ?1.95, and I went off to do some shopping in Sainsbury's while he did it.


When I went to collect it, it turned out to be ?9.95!!!!!


So he took the battery out again ......


My watch is a bog standard Casio. It's cheaper for me to get a new one, in fact I've just ordered one for just over a fiver with free delivery.


I realise I need to get my hearing tested, however a tenner for replacing a watch battery seems exorbitant to me. If memory serves, the nice man who used to have a stall in the market where Brick House is now didn't charge anything like that??

Not strictly in ED but I go to the man just inside the Peckham Arcade on the right who charges ?5. That said, I get mad each time as on very single occasion I've been there he serves men in the queue first, regardless of the fact that the women are waiting their turn patiently. I always speak up as it drives me crackers and he sighs and then serves me. I do like a bargain but I emerge furious every time!

      NIKO THE PLUMBER

      By DAVID CANNON · Posted

      I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!

      Has your child sat 4+ or 7+ assessments?

      By Mr F · Posted

      I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
