This particular store located near an upper entrance to the centre is very small, however there is a decent range of products. They often have special offers on where you can get things such as 3 pairs of earings for £6 which is a really good offer. Their sales are great too because everything becomes really cheap. They do ear piercing and are very quick and professional at this i think they have a lot of young girls coming for their ears pierced and its always done with minimal fuss. The staff are really friendly and helpful and quick at serving you too.

You can buy gift cards from this store and they take all major credit and debit cards.

For somewhere so small, manages to cater for everything your could want in the goth, emo and punk categories. They have a huge selection of band t-shirts and the cheapest body jewellery in Derby (£2.50 a piece!). Also have hair dye, bags, belts, buckles other fashion accessories. They also carry living dead dolls, which are tricky to find nowadays! Very highly reccommended.

In that…read moretime, I have never, ever found such rude and bad mannered staff as I have at Viva Hate, Derby. We were in mid-afternoon and my son, 6, was looking at badges to buy. My partner bought him a Minecraft badge, and left the shop. As me and my son were getting ready to go, my son spotted some other Minecraft items, as six year old's do. I called him over, then looked at the counter assistant, who was looking supremely annoyed, and was grumbling to himself. I called my son over, and then looked once more towards the counter which is next to the door, and the assistant was literally scowling at us, and shaking his head. I said to him "what is the problem" Counter Assistant: "I want to go out, I have to go". (There was no way of us knowing this) I call my son, who came over... Me: "There's no need to be scowling at him, he's six years old!!!!!" C/A "It's not him" Me: "So I'm a problem now?, all I've done is bought an item and spent at most, 4 minutes in your shop, and you have the nerve to scowl at my six year old son" I was furious, and once my son was out of earshot, I gave the assistant a piece of my mind, not that he was in the least bit bothered. He shut the door and left the shop. I popped into the next door unit, which is also part of Viva Hate, and asked the counter assistant there what was the problem with the person next door. This counter assistant just scowled too!!! I have never, ever been to a shop that so clearly didn't want custom. It was like the sitcom Black Books, but nastier. Incidentally, we went straight from Viva Hate to a store next door, and they saw the look on my face and were totally, totally wonderful, and pretty much put me, my partner and son back on the track of having a lovely day out. Anyone heading derbywards, I IMPLORE you, do not go to Viva Hate, go to Asylum, find a Blue Banana, go to brum on a train. There is zero excuse for such rude behaviour from counter staff.

Bunnies Tea Shop is right in the centre of Measham's main shopping street. Clearly a popular place…read morefor locals, you are immediately greeted by friendly staff, who were busy preparing the tasty looking breakfast and lunchtime food. The counter is adorned with a mixture of cakes and biscuits, complimenting the extensive menu containing sandwiches, baguettes, rolls and jacket potatoes. A great range of different fillings including Coronation chicken, breakfast, BLT, to name but a few. They also do roast dinners and other hot food, plus you can hire out the tea shop for formal occasions like weddings and Birthday Parties. My bacon sandwich, which apparently was a small roll, was more than enough for a mid-morning snack and very tasty. A good variety of drinks too, we had a strong, flavoursome cup of coffee and a pot of tea, there was also an equally impressive range of cold drinks. Interior wise, modern with stylish lighting, with ample spacing between the tables. Apparently the sandwiches have won many awards, clearly a reason to return very soon!
