Philou Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well done Lord & Butler! Order placed Tuesday morning, in post that very lunchtime and arrived here in the 'continental' sticks this lunchtime. I know a little boy (not me!) who will now have a very happy birthday. L&B also tested the loco before posting - additional well done. (Thanks should also go to RM and La Poste.) Cheers, Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philou Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I don't know if anyone may be interested in this, but there is a short video on YouTube giving a guided tour of Lord and Butler if you're unable to get there to see for yourselves. Here's the link: I haven't got a disclaimer as he is my brother! However, I am a happy customer too!! Cheers, Philip (If Mods say it's not allowed, I'll take it down of course). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree about the "happy customer" comment - whenever I've had dealings with Peter, Adrian, or indeed anyone at Lord & Butler, I've always enjoyed the experience. I know I'll always get treated right - and this is one of the reasons why they're one of a very small number which I regard as "preferred suppliers". (Please believe me - I don't make that statement lightly.) Huw. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

L&B is well within normal travel limits but.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philou Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Oooh .............. I have no idea as I'm about 1000km to the south east of Cardiff. The Johnster, NHY 581, Danemouth, Barry Ten or Huw Griffiths will probably swing by and help. What I do know, is that the local train services serving Grangetown Station (the closest to the shop + 10 min. walk) are running frequently during the day. I expect masks are recommended.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted June 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have answered my own question....I assume I will not be visiting L&B for a week or two... (Source BBC News website 19.6.20) Wales' coronavirus travel restrictions could be lifted from 6 July so people can "travel as far as they like for all purposes," First Minister Mark Drakeford has said. Travel into and around Wales will be possible from that date, as long as coronavirus is still under control. But rules that require people to stay local, within five miles of their home as a guide, will stay for now. It comes as Mr Drakeford announced major changes to lockdown laws. From Monday, visits beyond people's local area on compassionate grounds, such as to family, care homes or young offender institutions, will be allowed. On the same day: Retailers can open, with social distancing measures in place Private prayer can take place in places of worship Restrictions on outdoor sports courts will be lifted for non-contact sports Non-professional elite athletes can resume training House viewings in vacant properties and home moves will also be allowed, restarting the housing market.

Philou Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Lay'neez an' Genl'mun, Your attenshun pleez. Peter has shaved off his beard, donned his trousers and has been preparing the shop to welcome you all tomorrow as you will see from the following pictures taken a few hours ago. Social distancing has been marked out: and a warm beer welcome awaits you all: Joking aside - please do note that opening times will be from 10.00am to 4.00pm for the time being. Following NHY 581's post below - face masks will be a condition of entry. Cheers and take care, Philip Edited June 22, 2020 by Philou Updated following NHY's post 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2020 Well, they ' re back. A revision has been made to normal service and the experience is perfectly acceptable. Peter has lost none of his retailing prowess and in true Aunty Wainwright style, I left with a Dapol B4........ On a serious note, understandably, face masks are a condition of entry. A small price to pay in order to support the business. Rob. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philou Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Glad I resisted calling the shop today to welcome him and Adrian back - no doubt I would have been a few of Her Maj's pounds lighter!!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with many businesses emerging from lockdown, I could imagine people's wallets being particularly welcome. 3 hours ago, NHY 581 said: On a serious note, understandably, face masks are a condition of entry. I'm no expert - but I suspect that it would be preferred if these are not of the type which some of Adamsdown's less respectable residents might have previously favoured. (For people unfamiliar with certain areas of Cardiff, I believe that one secure compound on Adam Street is used for a very similar purpose to some better known establishments on Southall Street, Manchester and Du Cane Road, London ... .) Seriously though, Lord & Butler is one of several places I really hope I get the chance to visit, very soon. I've always found the guys there very helpful - and a real pleasure to do business with.

The measures put in place at the shop rather sum up Peter and Adrian 's approach to their business and in particular their customers. Rather than make light of it , I mentioned this to highlight it for the benefit of persons who may attend the shop without one. The boys have put this in place to safeguard themselves and their customers and as I say , it's a condition of entry..They have provided some face masks of their own but they could easily run out. Turn up without one therefore and though embarrassing for all concerned, you may well be refused entry Rob.

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted June 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) My apologies if my comments caused any offence. They certainly weren't intended to - especially in view of a number of people having recently made some light hearted comments, elsewhere on this site, about certain dodgy individuals and face coverings. Anyone who knows me would also know that I've always been law abiding - and that I've never found crime even remotely amusing. I've also got a number of elderly relatives - so I also tend to take health issues very seriously. Anyone who really knows me would also know that my standpoints are never likely to change. Perhaps I could also mention that, when I worked in a university, I often found that it seemed to help in putting serious points across if I drew attention to something I definitely did not mean - or if I found some other offbeat way of saying something. I'm afraid this is just my way of saying things. Ultimately, this was all I was trying to do here - but my apologies if this was taken in a different way to what was intended and if any offence was caused. Returning to the face masks, I've already got a sensible stock (of both disposable and washable types) - which I'm ready to use as and when needed. Regards, Huw.

Philou Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Hello chaps and chapesses, Here's an update from Lord and Butler by way of a new video showing the post-Covid arrangements plus new stock (as of three weeks ago). Interestingly, as you will see from the video, those of a rather more nervous disposition can arrange to have personal viewing of the stock, if they so wish, to avoid unnecessary contact. Cheers, Philip Edit: I forgot to say: Who ya gonna call? 029 2066 7225 Edited July 31, 2020 by Philou Tel No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted July 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2020 I enjoyed visiting the shop for the first time since lockdown yesterday. It was good to see Peter and Adrian and excellent way they have organised things, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philou Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 During this period of uncertainty and lockdown (and I understand that of tonight our friends in Scotty-land are under full lockdown), Lord and Butler will be doing 'click and collect' until further notice. You can also call the shop on 029 20 667 225 or leave an e-mail on info@lordandbutler.com for mail order. Peter advises me that the shop is pretty well stocked and there are new arrivals on the way. Cheers, Happy New Year to you all and stay safe, Philip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi all, Does anyone how/when this click and collect service is operating? I've phoned the shop a few times today and no answer, I've been out shopping and just drove to the shop to find it shut. There also hasn't been any update on the shop website or Facebook page. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
