[QUOTE="Mick Whittingham"] Generally I would agree, but: It does have some good markets. A good selection of small non 'big chain' shops in the middle of town. Six or more big super markets so the competition is good. Good wet fish supplies. Good butchers. Coffee importers/roasters. Good restaurants. Good library, if small. Good theatre. Good selection of builder, plumbers and electrical suppliers. [/QUOTE] When staying in Brancaster we do our shopping in Hunstanton, unsurprisingly. We only venture into KL if we absolutely have to. This is partly due to the seemingly constant road works and uber fecked up traffic - though we tend to avoid the coast road and take the A148 towards Fakenham (turning off at the B1355), which strikes me as a much quieter / quicker way to get to just about anywhere along the north coast, particularly in the summer, but don't tell anyone else they'll all be using it ;-p [QUOTE] They are tearing down the 'new built in the 60s' bit of the town and building something more pleasing to the eye. Crime on the council estates is a problem according to the papers but only specific estates. *Every* bit of pavement is covered in chewing gum and I mean *every* bit. Nice! [/QUOTE] It is. Real wood burning fire thingy, quiet, pub-that-also-sells-nice-scoff just over the way, and not so close to the marina set that you notice them. [QUOTE] The young lady there knows more about photography technically than all the other sales droids in there, behind counter or out back. [/QUOTE] Jessops are handy if the branch you're at is actually stocking whatever it is that you need, and they can sometimes be quite competitive on new equipment prices if you're prepared to haggle with them, but that's about it really... still, what more could you reasonably expect from a High Street chain of that nature?
