Does anyone know where I can get a watch battery replaced in East Dulwich?

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??

A quick Google would suggest anything from ?3.00 - ?25.00

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!
