Running Before Walking

You're from Buckingham? I went to school there. Do you work at Buckingham Bikes?

In Bucks the best place to go is Woburn Sands. They have a maidenhead aquatics and across the road is another store. i'm not sure about the advice given, but they're the best stores I used by miles. Avoid at all costs the garden center opposite xscape, to this day it's one of the least ethical fish stores I've ever seen, stocking RTC's and claiming them as "small catfish".

I agree entirely with what you're saying with regards to customer service, which is why I buy the majority of my fish from wharf aquatics in Nottingham (where I currently live...). The advice there is great, and the owner, Wayne, confesses that the prices may be higher, but thats because he employs knowledgable people above minimum wage to get the best customer service he can, which to me, is well worth the extra pennies.

I went to school at Buckingham Secondary 1996-1998, although i was a very rare sight! i started at buckingham bikes in buckingham when i was 17. Small world eh? Now work for Trek Bikes in Milton Keynes, which is only a stones-throw from Woburn Sands. I'll call in on my lunch break some day.

I bought my leopard gecko from Wyevales opposite Xscape about 7 years ago and even then can remember how scummy the fish "department" was. No longer have the gecko as the ex got him in the break-up

I'm hoping to blitz over to the MA in Northampton today as that seems highly regarded. Gotta watch the footy first though!

I think i got one of my first bikes from buckingham bikes when I was a lot younger than I am now.

I was RLS from 97 onwards (I think), and in my later years I was a bit of a rare sight as well.

Woburn sands is definitely worth it, but I'm not sure if a lunch break would be enough to catch everything
