I am looking to pick up a chair to work on at home and want to make a good investment in an aeron or maybe try out a couple of other makes...getting old and realise I need to invest in my aching back.
Any suggestions on a good place to buy one in London?
Any suggestions?cheers

cheers chubba, it is in massive need of an update...and I need more travel and less debt to fill it!

Kezza, cheers for that. I know all the shops down old street, didn't realise they did decent chairs in there...my mate has been saying he see's them in Hackney road and I am thinking nah! Especially as I got my 20 quid piece of crap from round there!
I will go for a wander later today.

engage, mate, you should try working in one of them...it makes such a difference! I really thought they were just flash noncy things...but it really works. And my back is getting worse after 8 years working in front of machines...fuck I find myself slumped so often it's not funny.
We are all gonna end up crippled old men, in a pub in Bethnal Green moaning about "multi media hardest game in the world...30 years man and boy..."...actually....that describes my weekend......

sorry no... but If you walk down old street there must be 20-30 second hand office furniture shops and a few up city road too..
I picked up a filing cabinet for 30 quid too

ha ha!
I am going to pop down tomorrow SirG I will check out their 'showroom' and let you know!
I am also after a planchest too and a filing cabinet.
The other good thing to check out apparently is any industrial auctions when companies go bust.
I went to one in Sydney when Spike went under. So many bargins to be had apart from their famous one inch thick fishtank.I think the Inland Revenue do them over here too for all sorts of goodies...

mate if you want to do a bit of legwork and work out the cost of packing one up and shipping it out from London it might be worth my while to pick up a couple if they have them?
Can't promise anything but it's a possible....d
