Body & Sole

So whether you're looking for a one piece, bikini, beach dress, men's trunks, lingerie, hosiery, stockings, garter, or a gift voucher, Body & Sole will make you look fabulous.
I’ve just been to Body & Sole as I needed a new swimsuit. I was amazed at how many sizes there were, I felt like I was in a sweet shop not knowing where to start. The lady in there worked out what size I needed and after trying on several swimsuits I just couldn’t decide which one to buy, they were all great. I have to say that the selection was fantastic and the lady was really helpful as I had no idea what size I wanted. I am now ready for the beach Thank you so much Body & Sole.

Hill Engineering
Hill Engineering is an independent family-run Guernsey business; the place to go if you need garage services such as car repairs and servicing, used cars, in-car audio systems, vehicle tracking, satnavs and hands-free kits. Hill Engineering is also the sole Guernsey agent for the Terraclean advanced engine cleaning service which is proven to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and restore performance.
Hills Engineering are extremely competent engineers and friendly people to deal with.....but dear, oh dear their skills in admin and business acumen are sorely lacking.
After a service I was given a check list which highlighted urgent attention on my back suspension.....turns out that was wrong. I was then given a quote to replace front suspension, which was in need of urgent attention. The work was completed and invoiced at at figure £74 more than the quote. It took an inordinate amount of time for Hills to come up with the result of their investigation into the matter..."their quote was wrong". I felt justified in asking for some sort of reduction on the bill as I could have been difficult and insisted ' a quote is a quote,is a quote" and should be adhered to. Never heard from them again....and oh yes a horn replacement priced on the quote was overlooked and never fitted. So maybe four stars for mechanical competence, and two stars for admin and one star for business acumen.
