I Asked these amateurs to sew a badge on a blazer for me, simple right? That's what I thought. They quoted me £30 which I thought was expensive but was prepared to pay for a good job as it was an expensive jacket and a very rare badge. When I went to collect the blazer, the badge was absolutely ruined!! They had damaged the gold braiding around the perimeter of the badge. Obviously done by the machine they had chucked it through! At the price they was charging sewn on by hand didn't seem to much to ask. This was not just any old badge it was a vintage Cunard crest badge which had never been taken out of the packaging and that had taken me two years to track down. When I challenged them about the damage they denied they had caused it, even though I produced a picture I had taken the morning I'd taken the jacket to them to see what it looked like. I asked to see the manager and I was absolutely gob smacked to say the least to find that the person who was dealing with me so poorly was the owner..... she had the attitude of a sixteen year old school leaver on work experience, the only thing missing was the chewing gum. Her customer service was absolutely disgusting at best. I'm sure the owner will come back to this review with some sort of smarmy reply judging by the other bad reviews she's responded to but I'm not prepared getting into tit for tat I just wanted to warn others from experiencing the same as me. There are far better shops you can choose and much more reasonably priced as I found out to my cost. I'm amazed shops like this even exist. I wouldn't ask them to repair a hole in my tea towel.

There was uproar in the village when it was announced that Byrne & Sons would be closing its Brows…read moreLane premises (almost as much as when they mentioned that there might be a McDonalds opening opposite Waitrose). The men's clothing store had been in the village for a good long while and it should jolly well stay, especially as all these bally WAGS keep being bought boutiques here to run into the ground. Obviously the people making these sorts of remarks didn't really concern themselves with actually shopping at Byrne & Sons, and why would they? It was very expensive for what it was. "£55 for an argyle cardigan? I could get one half that price at the Edinburgh Wool Mill!" Still they were adamant that it shouldn't leave Formby, it was an institution. Imagine their joy then when it moved to new, even bigger (and cheaper) digs opposite the Grapes pub. Hooray. It still didn't mean that anyone really went. "£20 for a tie? Good heavens no, I could get three for that price at Tie Rack!"
