Hi,
I'm trying to get a list together of major British retailers in Dubai.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to who is out there.
Thanks.

Blue Cat

can I ask why? we have all the major brands out here

Madam Medusa

what do you mean by british reatailers, btw - british-owned, or those on the uk high street? if it's the former, guess you could try the british business group...

MM, xx

Blue Cat

for high street brands just check out any of the mall websites

Spugsy

loads,
harvey nicks, next, debenhams, boots, H&Ms etc etc

I am also seeking knowledge of Kitchen cabinet companys if anyone can direct me too the "High street" via the web or malls ..Cheers

there are hardly any kitchen cabinet shops here...I recall seeing one along SZR but don't know they name...it's not like back in Europe where every city has their SieMatic, Bulthaupt etc showrooms...
Kitchen here are just the pits, from what I have seen even in the more expensive houses they are just horrible horrible, they look dated, have no nice features just rows and rows of plain cabinets. Since a lot of people are renting and only here for a few years, they probably don't really care.
Not sure what they are like in the properties that are sold but I won't hold my breath...

Kitchen cabinets.... I couldn't agree more MH... mine are really cheap and dated - when I think of the kitchen I left behind in the uk!!!! Still I am not paying for it here [ rented] so shouldn't grumble!!!!!!

http://www.mwf.ae/ this is the one on SZR, very expensive though

MataHari

yes, that's the one...but jeez...it's like stepping back into the 80s looking at the pics...yuk yuk yuk

our shower head is knakcered so we're using one of the other bathrooms we have, and in the last 2 weeks, maybe because of teh stam or whatever the tiles have come away from the wall and 2 rows and jutting out like the bloody pyramids,

honestly - is nothing done properly in this country??

MataHari

just be happy you are renting...

Blue Cat

there a few more companies as well but I can't remember their names

Spugsy

well we're going to get burooj to do it, the landlord is shite, we'll just get all things done and pay for it ourselves, we need them to come and:

Put seal in shower (not a real seal, but a silicone seal so the water stops going all over the ****ing place)
New shower head in other bathroom - ours has perished
Fix electric gates - stopped working after 3 months
Check AC and service it - doesn't seem to be as cold as it used to be
Fix outside lights - stopped working after 3 months
Fix 2nd sink - has leaked since day one
Put blackout blinds up - walls seem to be made of cottage cheese, I tried and it seemed to fall apart

Thanks for the PM Spugsy. We may need to get ours decorated soon, assuming that's the norm if and when you move out!
