br2975 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just before Christmas I took the other half down. She had a quiet word with Peter, was whisked of to a quiet corner and she came back all smiles - obviously she's easily satisfied !. She was clutching something that she refused to show me - I've heard that one before !. I later had a little something in my stocking - Fishnet or otherwise ? Rob I can't speak too badly of her indoors either - surprised me with a G.F.Y.E. Brush Type 4 - how did she know ? Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danemouth Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Went into L & B today and was immediately shown their new views taken inside the shop for Google Maps: https://www.google.co.uk/maps?layer=c&z=17&sll=51.456889,-3.198776&cid=17544460818171128895&panoid=g-LrBXEsJ8cAAAAGOyA0oA&cbp=13,120.1562089365807,,0,0&q=lord+and+butler&sa=X&ei=D3DyUtPOOJGDhQePpIDABw&sqi=2&ved=0CI0BEKAfMAs "Castle Works" by Naturol of this parish was on display in the shop at the time the Google people took the photos, Usual caveat applies, Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Brilliant service from L& B. Ordered their Ltd Ed 416 EMU via ebay BIN yesterday morning. Dispatch was confirmed in a couple of hours, goods received this morning by Royal Mail Special Delivery. That is excellent by anyones standards. First time I've used them and am well pleased.

branchie Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I'm in Cardiff for a couple of days and am thinking of calling in. Can any locals advise me about what bus to catch from the Bay? Thanks. Branchie. Edited April 15, 2014 by branchie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Cardiff Bus (Bws Caerdydd) services 92, 93, 94 use Penarth Road and pass The Pump House, and L&B. . In the centre of the city, busses to various destinations, terminate at a variety of locations - as opposed to just the Central Bus Station. . If you were coming up from Cardiff Bay on say a No.8, I don't know where that stops in the centre, and how you'd change to a 92/93/94. . This is what Cardiff Bus consider progress - reading the letters page(s) in the South Wales Echo suggests the passengers/customers hold different views Any wonder why I use ATW instead ? Brian R . PS Don't know where you are staying in 'the bay' but consider the train from Bute Road aka Cardiff Bay to Queen St. change to a Barry or Penarth sevice and get off at Grangetown. Turn left at the foot of the station steps and follow Penarth Road - walking time 10-15mins max. Edited April 15, 2014 by br2975 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branchie. Hi Branchie I would catch the train from the bay to Queen St, then any Penarth or Barry service as far as Grangetown, turn left out of the station and it is a 10 min walk up the road.

Ian The Penarth and Barry buses also go past the shop, I believe. Services 92/93/94. Not sure where they currently start from/pass in relation to Central or Queen Street.

branchie Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks for all the advice gents. I buckled under the pressure and just got a taxi to the shop. The walk back to the Bay was interesting! I must say what a cracking shop this is - a huge range with competitive prices. I was very impressed and will definitely be back (when down from the north ... ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The walk back to the Bay was interesting! I bet it was, did you come across Bear Grylls ?. . At least I used to get paid to walk the streets of Strangetown. . Brian R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted May 11, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 11, 2014 A lot of things I've recently bought have been only slightly more than the box shifters are offering them for, without having to pay postage, of course. I'm often working close to there, so very pleased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted October 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2014 Is their website down? I was casually browsing for their WR blue-grey Pullman (just academic interest of course). I've bought their excellent weathered presflos from them in the past, and it was operational then. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It looks like it's out of action at the mo - I was looking for the same last night as I wanted to point someone in just that direction who didn't think Bachmann would ever do it. I've had a good look at one and the finish is as good as the factory and the weathered option is better than factory weathering. And probably at a lower price than Bachmann could produce one for now. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted October 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've been seriously tempted by the L&BBP as well ... perhaps it's the influence of Tri-ang catalogues but I've always thought that livery looked quite smart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
