“I cannot praise this swimming school highly enough! I’ve been using them for both my children. My eldest is very close to finishing her lessons hopefully and she started off as a non swimmer and she is now a confident swimmer who enjoys coming to every lesson. My youngest has just started off and is loving every minute of her sessions. The instructors are professional and cater to each individual needs. My kids love all the instructors and Claire is very quick at responding to any queries or questions parents have. When my partner broke his foot and couldn’t drive my eldest to her lessons - I told Claire about it and she went above and beyond to get my daughter into a different session time in order for her to not miss one lesson. I will definitely be recommending seriously swimming to anyone looking for a swim school. Thanks so much!!”

“Today i discovered this hidden deli gem. It is full of the most delicious delicacies including fantastic olives. Worth a visit”

“By chance I went into this store to look around while waiting for the bus to work. I discovered a most delicious plum jam filled doughnut which didn't make it to the bus. I also got a nice bit of cheesecake which I shared with colleagues. The lady opening was so warm and friendly, I wish I could've spent more time chatting with her.”

“Fantastic stationary suppliers. Been using them for years, highly recommend. Saved lots of money for myself and lots of business owners I have recommended to them.”

“I have only recently started going to gents barbers but I can say that it is certainly my favourite barbers. As someone who hates haircuts they do a brilliant job of talking to you and making you feel comfortable. Along with their brilliant customer service, the actual haircuts are very good. I have been to many barbers where they offer only a few options (short, medium, long etc) however at Gents offer a great variety of styles as well as different lengths, and talk you through what they are doing as they do it. I highly recommend if you want a high quality haircut and a good chat.”

“Good selection of food products. Very food on price so if struggling cos of cost of living go here and this shop will help u stay above water so u n family won't go hungry cos of soaring prices well yogurt at asda/tesco/Iceland etc £2 lidi price £0.89 see the difference so I don't understand why those shops are more expensive when lidi is good on price I feel lidi put people first where the other shops put profit first hope u all agree Have a nice day”

Don't see the manager on the floor much, seen him once in the year or so I've been coming here, that was to open a till when they were busy, although the lady did have to ring 4 or 5 times lol very happy with the shop, enjoy coming here to shop. Also has air con!”

“I’m one of those shoppers who scrutinise the labels to check what ingredients everything has as well as trying to eat as ‘clean’ as possible. I will shop in 3-4 supermarkets to cut down my weekly expenditure but recently, Aldi is my ‘Go To’ store. I have to say that I am seriously impressed with the quality ( and the price ) of all fresh meats, hams, chicken and fish. I also love that their fresh produce mostly comes from British farms. I am not vegetarian but there is a good selection to choose from if you are. Gluten free produce is also available. I can recommend their Sirloin steaks, Fresh Salmon, Cooked and uncooked Chicken Breasts, Beef ( joint and minced) Wiltshire Ham and their eggs are extra good value. On those items alone, I save between £10-15 per shop. I can also recommend Aldi ice creams/lollies ( special treat days) as they taste just as good as the branded ones but considerably cheaper. It’s a pleasant ‘quick’ shop but I have to admit that I spend a ridiculous amount of time down the ‘Isle of Shame’ Everyone loves a bargain right?!!”
