The staff at CeX are friendly and seem to communicate well, making for a comfortable environment. The only issues with this store would be that the look of the interior is very unattractive and the lack of air conditioning makes for a very stuffy environment during the summer which can produce some unpleasant smells! Overall, however, this is a great store that I would recommend.

Light bulbs, LEDs, energy savers or any other general household lighting requirement you can think of. They also offer a useful range of electrical appliances like vacuum cleaners, bedside lamps, heaters, kettles and toasters. You'll even find the odd, cheesy disco light and a few computer peripherals. The store itself provides a lot of eye candy and probably uses enough power to light a rural settlement of computer hackers bent on world domination. Still, at least you can help Earth's plight by upgrading your home's lights to energy savers, which are available in every shape and colour for a really good price.

Today I went in there to recycle batteries and bulbs (ie. they get nothing out of that at all) and they were happy to spend time advising me on what sort of charger I needed in the UK for a US appliance (again no sale). I was so impressed that I ended up buying something else. Of course you can buy things more cheaply on the internet, but you wouldn't get the service and the advice and the after sales. I have bought many things from Ryness over the years and always been pleased with both the products and the service.

We don't experience this very often nowadays and I would give 9 million stars, if I could. I was greeted by a gentleman, as soon as I approached the counter. After less than a minute, he was already on the shop floor explaining about the variety of Androids he had for sale. I was looking for a phone and, being one of those annoying customers who don't understand a thing about those products, I felt so looked after by this incredibly kind man. He was pointing at different phones, prices and highlighting the features of each product. As if this was not already good enough, I mentioned I had an issue with my phone an he said immediately he could have a look at it. After calling VIRGIN 9 times asking for help, I was sure nobody else would be able to sort out the issue. How astonished I was, when he gave me my phone back and everything was up and running. He did (in a matter of minutes), what nobody could do in days. An absolute legend ! I do not know if he is the Manager there, but his name is Jonathan and I am extremely grateful for his assistance and for his fantastic customer service. Such an asset to team !!!! Because of him, I will not only recommend the shop, but I will also visit it again soon to buy another phone. Merci du fond du cœr pour votre aide. J'en suis vraiment reconnaissant !

I bought a Nokia phone with a Virgin SIM after the clerk told me that it was unlockable at CeX. Thinking that I could unlock the phone with CeX, I went ahead and purchased the phone. Only to find out later that CeX DOES NOT unlock this type of phone. Now I am stuck with a phone that I cannot even use. On top of that, they took the SIM card back so I'm stuck without that as well. I went back for two days in a row to try and fix the situation. Finally, I decided to go to some local phone shops just to get a proper explanation. They were quick to let me know.... I got a a raw deal and that only a fool would buy a phone like that. This has left me emotionally distraught as I can't get in touch with my family. I haven't seen my family in four years and this was my only means of contact. Thank you for everybody who is reading this page. I hope this never happens to you. God bless you all!

The store is a block away from Reading Station and it has everything you would expect in a widely discounted variety, from cookies and biscuits, cans of soda, stuff for your car, dishes and cups, silverware, kitchen appliances, office supplies, even over-the-counter medicines like cold and flu stuff. Way too much to list here. You do have to be aware of the prices. I've seen some items that were £1 at Poundland for less than that at Asda or Tesco, but the opposite is true too: there are some great bargains to be had. The aisles are rather narrow - too narrow for trolleys - but they have a big stack of carry baskets. Shoppers seem friendly enough to step aside so you can pass. The lines can tend to be long and it blocks one of the aisles. Maybe it's not so busy the rest of the year, but lots of people are looking for Christmas bargains now. And yes, it's exactly a pound. The price includes tax (they call it VAT over here).

It is a class above high street jewellery shops, but it is not overpriced for the quality you get and the personalised service you receive. You can buy gorgeous jewellery straight from the displays, but you they also make bespoke pieces and they will spend as long as you need advising you on the best designs, metals and stones, with no hard sell or pressure to buy. They also sell a range of high-end watches and they do repairs and cleaning. If you are looking to buy something special, I would definitely recommend popping in to Pravins - you won't be disappointed.

A huge banner decorates the cheerful front window of Hamdy's declaring "THIS IS A PORN FREE NEWSAGENT." Thank goodness for that I say. I agree with Hamdy's and have no problem with people that partake in the purchase of porn, I just don't want to witness them doing it when I buy my morning paper and orange juice. Although it is not possible to buy porn here, Hamdy's has a huge selection of other types of magazines, from fashion to fishing and everything in between. It's almost as if they are trying to encourage non porn related hobbies and I think it's all very refreshing. They also stock everything else a porn free newsagent should have: cigarettes, sweeties and Ebony cards. These are my favourite cards, they feature ebony beauties in all sorts of situations (playing pool, going to church, etc.) and say things like "You are a strong, good man, a man that doesn't walk away, Happy Birthday brother." What more could you ask from a paper shop? If your answer is porn than go buy it in Soho, because in Stoke Newington, we like to keep things nice and clean.
