I'm sure he was a lovely feller, but there was something about his patter and general attitude that put me in mind of a Galton and Simpson character. Personal attacks on strangers aside, there's something about Cash Converters that fills me with uneasiness. Browsing the gadgets and gizmos on offer, you can't help but wonder where exactly they were burgled from, and how long ago. Some of the appliances here still have marks of crime on them. Still, if you want some cheap DVDs and don't mind the police kicking down your door in the near future, it makes a great location for last-minute birthday presents. What?

Just finding what you want and trecking to the right aisle in these stores can take hours. So if you enjoy listening to a royalty-free, sub-karaoke cover medley of James Blunt's finest soft-rock hits whilst walking half a mile through a barren, artificially lit, aircraft hanger to try to find an over-priced product that inevitably they won't stock, on a grey Sunday, all with a pervading feeling that your life is slipping away, - well go for B&Q, you'll enjoy it there. If you actually want to get a specific DIY item and interact with a real human who has some knowledge of the subject then head to a place like Newlands.
