I have to rate this place very highly. They have excellent knowledgeable staff and a huge range and…read morethe desire to order anything they don't have. They even have a window display which will look like junk to the casual observer but to someone like me it gives me plenty of ideas of what to go for. I mean, I often want rare germanium transistors, various IC's. Random sized ceramic and poly caps along with all sorts of trim pots and things. They've got all this in those little draws on the walls and the happy ending is that they are usually priced at 'cost + 2-3p' instead of it is all £1.99 mate. I mean what slightly autistic person with an engineering mind doesn't want to be asked a dozen questions about what type of wire you want when you ask for wire? This place is perfect as it modern retail terms it is like the shop that time forgot. Only complaints is that is gets very busy because of the specialised and sometimes complex help you'll get from them and you've got to put up with it but I don't mind as sometimes I've felt guilty for how much of their time I've used up. As an example I've gone in looking for a certain IC. They've not got it because it is some ancient archaic one which is now covered by a more fully functioned one. They've checked over my badly drawn circuit diagram, checked in a phone book sized book of specification sheets and picked out several alternative IC's based on my current requirements and suggested how some will even be better and have additional functions. Thanks guys I'll take one! How much? 40 pence? Hahaha you must hate my guts!

Each time I go in there they are always up for a chat. They also know most of their customers on a first name basis. The manager has a good rapport with his staff and his customers and always has laugh and a joke. I recently had a problem with one of my items but they were on the case very quickly. There was a big delay in getting in back but each time I asked about it they were quick to make a few phone calls and follow up for me. The problem was with the head office and not the store. On the odd occasion I have been late with payments, I have never had any threatening phone calls as are reported from other stores. I just had a polite phone call reminding me that payment is due. I love that you can go in and sit down on the big comfy leather sofas while you wait to be served and sometimes there is even coffee and biscuits on offer.

Basically this is the UK equivalent of the US giant Home Depot. Don't expect much help from the staff unless you ask - but Home Depot has the same model of course.

I think B & Q have gone downhill lately but I know they are waiting to move into their new…read moresuperstore so they were not replacing stock recently meaning that if you went there for something then they more than likely will not have it. Their kitchen planners are good as long as you tell them your budget and exactly what you want otherwise they tend to go overboard. That said there are some bargains to be had especially with garden stuff this time of year, dont be afraid to ask them what has been reduced especially shop seconds or previously returned items. I do feel sorry for the staff as most of them obviously dont want to be there, (got that from the lack of smiles on their faces)

They had a re-fit too and PC World now sell many televisions. An impressive array of tv`s where you can be forgiven for thinking it is actually Currys. The DSG group are obviously trying to merge the two or will eventually as their branding and products are very similiar if not identical and with the Currys and PC World megastore merged in Coventry it wouldn`t be a surprise. Currys is good for a browse around but ultimately the prices are still not the cheapest and both PC World and Currys are the same which is a waste of a unit space at Fosse Park.
