I did a bit of a report on it a couple of weeks ago when I was there Marco. Firstly, this is NOT a record shop. It is a hang out for vinyl junkies! It is as removed from a retail shop as you can get. There is a "back room" - I suspect there are several - and I was just told to 'Help yourself'?Guys,

Really, really reasonable and everyone there was really knowledgable and very friendly, extremely helpful too.
Make sure you pay the parking though!!!
Edit: Sorry, forgot. Really easy to find and just up the road there is another shop too. I'll get the details.

Sounds like a good day out, thanks for the tip Phil.
Now you just need to point us in the right direction for the best curry.
Don't worry about price, Marco's paying.
