Two Great Things and One Not So
This is gonna be damn quick, so here we go. Firstly I have found what at first sight appears to be a very good blog… this one is by Jukka-Pekka Keisala and can be viewed at http://www.jpkeisala.com/desktop/.
The other great thing I have found, thanks to Jukka-Pekka, is a visited countries world map at World66.com. This system allows you to tell it where in the world you have been and it will generate a map with your selected countries highlighted… GREAT!!!
Those of you that know me will probably be able to tell that the map it slightly inacurate… but what they heck, it will be correct soon.
Finally, the not so good thing, and this is rather breif, I would like to point out to those that have never been into the shop, Gruts in Guernsey is one of the worst shops for employee product knowledge. I went in to ask a few simple questions about some propular products. After the first two questions I gave up… needless to say they wont be getting my money. If you ever decide to visit Guernsey, please don’t waste your money in that shop. I beg you.

Hi! Re: Gruts in Guernsey.
You were very unlucky! I have been using Gruts for my photographic, binocular and suitcase requirements for the past 15 years and have had excellent service from them. In fact, I look forward to my visits to the store whenever I go to the Island. Your experience is not the norm – and maybe you should be more specific. Maybe you should shop at home where obviously everybody knows everything about everything – apparently! Let me know where as I want to check it out. I LIKE GRUTS - Go see for yourself!!
Guernsey is a good shopping place for visitors as they can purchase goods tax free. When I was working at Gruts it was not uncommon for other employees to tell visitors how to dodge tax when returning home (ditch the packaging, post all the documents home before leaving the island, claim you purchased the goods before visiting the island).
You should probably be aware that I have worked for Gruts in the past. Whilst I was working there the level of employee/product training was exactly ZERO. What I knew about the products was what I taught myself (being a techie helps).
