Seeing as this place sells items of the kitchen and electrical genre the S&A might stand for Stereos and Adapters or maybe Stand and Admire. My roommate and I went into here looking for the strange electrical species called a Scart cable. Heretofore unknown to either of us, we easily managed to find the unusual species which we sought. Long and skinny like a snake, with prickles on either end like a porcupine. We thought buying one to keep our DVD player and TV company because sometimes they get lonely and bark and wake us up. The scart cables ranged between 13 and 18 pounds. I've since seen them for 3-6 pounds. They looked like very nice scarts, but the selection was so overwhelming (about 4) that we decided it best to ask the advice of our flatmates. The store had a myriad of stuff from alarm clocks to ovens, from adapters to kettles, from Gilgamesh memorabilia to talking office chairs with big, soft teeth. It's convenient, but nothing out of the ordinary of a normal store of this genre. The staff let us browse tranquilly and we had our fill and left.

The best deal I found was for a 42" Hitachi at only £450. Other brand names readily available include Sony and Samsung. The rest of the goods comprise a range of high-tech laptops and cameras with all the relevant accessories you might need.

I've used the Ealing branch a few times and always found them knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. You can test-drive equipment to ensure you're getting what you want, plus they are always willing to suggest other options, not necessarily more expensive ones either. Only gripe is shop is quite small so stock held is limited. That said, if an item isn't in stock, ordering always seems to be quick. Probably because of being part of a large chain.
