  • Greg's guitar shop on Ormskirk Street opposite Crystals is the best place in town for any guitar gear. Dawsons gets a bad name but you can drop on a bargain in there occassionally.
  • Darwins should have a golden walkway to it with angels playing outside. i once askd him if he "had any £2 s***ty leads" n he said to himself "hmm...£2 s***ty leads?..yep, here you go" n lifted the lead i wanted out of a random drawer! thats what i call service. Boycott dawsons i say, as it is a ripoff beyond belief.
