Jessops sell those good Photo phones as well.

Many use Jessops for their bargain service.

They even price match at times.

So, using that logic the postal strike thread belongs in the local news forum.

What with Tesco-Walmart now selling digital cameras Its a competertive market now, they should try the old philosophy, "stack-em high sell-em cheap"

We have one Jessops up here. Staff are really helpful and nice. OK, I may be living in the stone age, as my son says, but I DON`T have or even want a mobile phone, and I don`t have a digital camera (might consider that sometime though.)In fact, I`ve only just learned how to use the camera I do have (Olympus Zoom 105)as it was my late Hubby who did the camera stuff...I didn`t even know how to put a film in/take one out...and the very helpful staff in our local Jessops didn`t make me feel stupid when they showed me how to do it.

Shop news isn`t really out of place in either local or national news, IMHO. Maybe we should have a section for positive/negative comments on shops and services though - why not?

Great idea! I think LTNS must have decided to throw his lot in with Fanshawe and the Brighton Business Forums.

Thing is ... I must agree with Duke ... the stores to be closed are primarily NOT in Brighton! So if this is any sort of news, it is national news.

Looks like a UK business to me!

Agree about Fanshaw.

The title of this thread is Jessops to shut 81 stores ... that is unlikely to be happening in Brighton now is it?

And yes Daveb, it is a UK wide business.

It isn't so much the getting it in there ... it is the trouble once you have it contained.

I notice that in the window of the photo place which closed down n North Street there is a sign which recommends customers go to its branch in Tunbridge Wells. Very convenient.

Is Jessops the only place to get cameras and pictures in Brighton and Hove?
