Computer and Games Shops

• Kings electronics
• Kings Electronics- great shop, does water cooling, new games at competitive prices. At last a shop that doesn't treat you like a newbie. The owner is atually a decent bloke.
• Stow Computers - At last we have a decent PC shop in Stowmarket. The guy is not a rip-off merchant, great prices & service.
• Asda is the cheapest place i no!
• WYSIWYG used to be the place. If you want my advice. Get your stuff off the internet. Even if it doesn't work, you'll still save enough to have another go at buying something that does.
• Slightly inaccurate discription of Raycom. In fact very inaccurate!! Try asking some of their satisfied customers........ME!! To name but one of many. The guy is helpful, not expensive...........HAVE YOU TRIED PC WORLD!!
• Raycom in stowupland - cough CON cough £50 fitting on anything NICE !
• No proper games shops, just asda
• Just Wollies, but its a very small selection of games!!!!
• There is a toy shop down Bury Street where I used to go when I was little but I can't remember the name of, that used to be okay.
• F1-Return, the only shop to have people as welcoming as the Regal staff. No refunds, no questions asked.
• Only good old Woolies or (the forever unchanged wooden countered, seving ladies in blue nylon overalls), Simpsons in Bury Street.
• well theres simpsons toy shop and woolies but thats about it as far as i kno!
• Blockbuster if you want to be riped off. Infact, you know that they do the thing where if you don't like the video and it is a new release you can take it back and have another free or if they don't have it in you can have it free next time, well they don't advertise it in the Stowmarket shop. They are just after better sales figures and don't give a fart about the customers. Their service is crap. If the area manager ever reads this you should sackj the lot of them because they are the maost inept bunch of no hopers that I have ever seen. None of them have any idea about customer service never mind about the ideals that Blockbuster, as a multinational company, should be promoting. Service is diabolical and the shop is a disgrace. Not that I have anything against them inparticular.... Back to games. The best bet is the market on Thursdays. Helen has a good selection of second hand PSX, DC and N games at reasonable prices.

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.
