Computer and Games Shops

• Anybody Remember Arnolds Gift Centre (Where Bairstow's is now)? A right dodgy shop selling cheap and nasty goods. Staff were very unpleasant and rude and would not give reciepts as the stuff was normally faulty. I had to take my dad in there when I was small as they couldn't remember selling me a radio that didn't work less than an hour after I bought it! We got our revenge though when, out of school oneafternoon, we tipped over a huge box off footballs that spilled out into the High Street and watched the bloke from the shop panic as he had to run to try and get them back!
• There's a Game on the high street I guess?
• Theres a good one in the precinct - you can trade in second hand games there and get new or old ones too. The precinct is opposite M&S.
• i remember Arnolds .. and the miserable git who owned it. Have many happy memories of the 70's he didn't like us going in and playing on the Mastermazes much
• Does anybody remember Arnolds???? God wasnt that man a miserable git who owned it!!! He was like the Punch & Judy man off of Hi-de-Hi.
• Gold Meddow Ribbon House Schorr shopping centre Hildingers Liflands
• John Menzies? I can't think of anywhere else.

LAN Parties, Tournaments, LAN Game Cafes, WiFi Meets, PSP/DS Meets

• Cafe Uno, excellent as is Prezzo.
• Fragz R Us in Basildon was the best, but it's shut down. :/
• bp garage, starbuks

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Brentwood. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Brentwood.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
