I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression but looking through the recruitment pages this week I notice T-mobile are looking for staff for a new store opening in Hertford. First I've heard about it. Anyone else?

I haven't been round that way lately so another store may already have opened there, but wasn't there a mobile phone shop opening in Honey Lane?

Didn't seem to have too much on offer either. Checked the T-mobile site and definitely a retail outlet being planned under the corporate name. Will contact the press office on Monday with my official hat on and see what i can find out.

maybe mobile phones now come under furniture and they're actually opening in the old Pearces building. Or Claydons.

we already have and 02 store why do we need more phone shops? the town is turning into a place of coffee shops and nail bars!

I ring the press office and all i get is a recorded message saying that they'll ring me back. I make my excuses and leave. I notice that Reed are recruiting for staff for T-mobile shop. Thought about opening a book on proposed location but there are few vacant and unallocated premises in the centre of town.

I think its a shame that all the good shops have gone, the bakers and fish shop

quote:The fish shop is alive but in a different guise: refridgerated market stall, run by John Workman of ex-Claydons. He was at the farmer's market last weekend. Bakers... good point. I heard tell that the Pearces on Ware Rd is to re-open as a bakers and we have to wait and see. In a blatant plug that will probably get this post deleted: we do good bread of many varieties on a Friday & Saturday. They're made by an artisan baker in Hitchin and we are his only retail outlet. Good shops are usualy independents (they have a higher interest in serving and listening to the customer) and there are many to chose from in town, I think it depends on what you're looking for.[:)] To drag this back on topic slightly, I hope that T Mobile doesn't effect the trade of the newly opened E4 Phones in Honey Lane too greatly. I have found them (E4) most helpful/communicative when trying to unlock my phone.

[/quote] T-Mobile will not unlock your phone and offer a very tailored service - the independants offer a very different kind of service. Also T-Mobile themselves get many different & better offers on tariffs etc for the public than the independants do.

quote:"Artisan" means it's hand-made from scratch and the baker undergoes many years training/apprenticeship. Yes, aesthetically pleasing loaves, but also pleasing flavour, texture and lasting qualities (leaving it out on the kitchen surface notwithstanding!) Derek's a master baker who's been baking for many, many years. He's got a very popular stall at the every-day market in Cambridge, so you may have already come across his bread in a different guise. Hope this helps.[:)] And apologies for off topic - if admin is watching[:)][:)][:)]
