Computer and Games Shops

• When my computer crashed half way through writing my dissatation, I thought all was lost and was ready to go and drown my sorrows down the pub. As I was about to walk out the down a leaflet came through the letterbox, advertising PC repair and data recovery so thinking this was to much of a coincidence to resist I rang the number and sure enough within the hour I was working on my dissatation again thanks to Phil from Vista Technology Support. Now I am a very proud Graduate.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
