Titterington's is an electrical shop in Lisburn's main shopping area. It sells TV, washing machines…read moreand other appliances as well as cables and other related stuff. It has always got a good name as the place to go not only to buy but also for advice on any electrically related problems you might have. And I can vouch for this, the staff know what they are talking about and usually can get you sorted. (They were the only place in the whole of the town that could help me with a problem I had.) And quite well priced too. Only draw back is that the shop itself is hidden away up an alleyway, and you have to go out of your way to find it.

The only electrical shop that I buy from in Lisburn. The personal service is second to none…read more Titteringtons will deliver and install your large electrical items such as washing machine, dish washer etc at no extra charge. And they usually do so within a day. This is something that the larger electrical stores fail to do without charging you extra and making you wait for a week or more. The only drawback with this shop is they are slightly limited to products but can order them in. And it is down an alleyway and hard to find. All in all I would recommend titteringtons for all your electrical items.

Over the past year or so it has plummeted in standard and shot up in price, (the elderly and young were the staple clientele of McEvoys). Why did they have to change it?

Now they seem to have tried to move upmarket and more 'fashion' based, basically just like all the other department stores around. McEvoys, go back to your roots, big pants, thermal vests, fleece nighties, fat men's pyjamas, terry tea towels, knitting needles, wool, stuff for turning up hems, bed socks, thick welly socks, flat caps and cheap and functional baby clothes. Basically the stuff that is far too un trendy to be in most other places but essential to the older person. Granny will pay a small fortune to have a decent pair of knickers that will come up past the waist band of her skirt you know. And you can never have too many thermal vests. Go back to where you were 10 years ago it will be much better!

Some people are wise and if they need Christmas decorations will buy them after Christmas when…read moresales are on. This was my reason for visiting Alexanders of Markethill today. Not for myself I might add, as I don't even bother putting up a Christmas tree, however a friend wanted to stock up for next year. Alexanders of Markethill is a large, beautiful household items store over two floors with an upstairs cafe. Throughout the year it sells a range of dinnerware, cookware, home accessories and offers an interior design service. Coming up to Christmas more than half the shop is taken over with Christmas stock including trees, decorations and artisan foods. It's fantastic to walk around and the Christmas items are stunning - some of the best I've seen. However, even with a sale on, I still think it quite expensive. For example my friend purchased a Christmas wreath and a decorative thingymajiggy for across the top of her fireplace - even in the sale this totalled over £110.00! I would never spend such money on a couple of Christmas decorations no matter how beautiful. Anyhow, if you've money to burn you'll love it. My favourite items were a couple of reindeer made out of what looked like papier-mâché newspaper cuttings - to be honest I'd be inclined to have a go at making them myself rather than buy them. Therefore for me, a trip to Alexanders would be more of an inspirational field trip, however for others it's a great place to pick up some fabulous, festive items. Unfortunately I didn't try the cafe but it was busy which I take as a good sign, so I will definitely return to try the cafe and have another browse. I might even be tempted to purchase some wine glasses or pots and pans on my next visit...

Just a little review update here, after receiving a message via YELP from a fellow 'patron' about…read moremy prior review of Alexanders, stating that " All companies are fighting hard to stay afloat in the current financial climate but comments like this can result in local family run businesses disappearing from our province altogether" well I just felt I needed to clarify my review, I have been into Alexanders many times over the years and I base my reviews on my experiences on the day, service, price and all other things we YELPERS should do. Now certainly Alexanders is an impressive store, in fact there are 2 stores in Markethill, one selling furniture and the other household items which includes the cafe on the 1st floor, in all my visits I could honestly say I have never found a bargain, the stock is overpriced, but yet I still visit the store, as I prefer to shop with local traders where possible, but my pocketbook is not bottomless so value for money always wins out! I stand by my original review, the cafe is expensive and the few times I have eaten in it were not great. Alexanders need to drop their prices a bit and buy bigger tea pots.
