What I like

The "Word of Mouth" page. People, products, services, and organisations I can recommend.

AAA Taxi

Usually good drivers, and they discipline those that misbehave.

Amazon

Will deliver CDs, DVDs and books to CZ. Check the prices.

Amnesty International

Defenders of political freedom around the world.

Apple Macs

A computer is for life, not just for spreadsheets.

Appleservis

The guys who sell and service our Macs, expert and dedicated.

Autocentrum Duba

Toyota dealer. Very good service and pleasant staff.

The BBC

One of the few British things which still leads the world.

British Airways

I think it's safe to recommend them again. At least they still fly to London!

Bruce Hornsby

American jazz-rock pianist.

CellarTracker

A great way to manage your wine cellar.

Charlton Athletic Football Club

Through the good times and the bad. Currently bad.

Czechs in a Nutshell

Book by a Norwegian in Prague since 1993. Full of insights.

Edward Davey MP

Still gets my vote. A politician of genuine integrity.

Electronics (A/V, satellite wizards)

They’ve never failed to come with a solution.

EuroCity trains

Comfortable, but try to choose one with German or Austrian coaches.

Farmers Markets

Not perfect, but improving every week.

Fleet Sheet

English summary of the Czech daily press, edited by an expert.

Friends of the Earth

Fighting for a better environment.

The Guardian

Great newspaper, great website.

iPhone

A phone, a PDA, an iPod, a camera, a newspaper, an email , a torch, a shopping list, a photo album, a weather forecast, a map, a pub-finder......

ISBA

UK association for advertisers, excellent free advice papers. We need this here.

Kavala restaurant

Family owned Greek restaurant near our office.

Professor Karel Lewit

94 years old and still fixing people without cutting them up. An inspiring human being.

Malostranská beseda

Sensitive reconstruction. PU from the tank, at lower price than elsewhere. It's part of the attempt to retain the soul of the old Beseda. The club upstairs looks much the same, just a better bar and no holes in the floor.

 

 

Mirellie Dejvice

Yugoslav restaurant, deservedly popular, great value lunch menus.

 

 

Pilsner Urquell

Still brewed without cheating. From the tank, it's unbeatable.

 

 

Radio 1

Unique Czech phenomenon, even if half the music sounds like the noise of Uralska street being dug up again.

 

Raiffeisen Bank

Generally they have good products, especially the multi-currency eKonto, and make few mistakes.

Robertson (English Butcher)

Fantastic Angus steaks, sausages and bacon to English recipes, all from local Czech sources.

SC Pendolino

You drive there on the D1; I’ll have a draught Gambrinus, and a snooze...

Schwandorf

Nice Bavarian town, 2 hours drive from Dejvice. Go there to save 20% in Globus or DIY stores.

 

Sigur Ros

Mesmeric, mind-blowing Icelandic rock band.


Toyota RAV4

My fairly green SUV. Mainly because it doesnt go anywhere. But when it does, its totally faultless. I'm waiting for the hybrid version.

Vet. Dr Jan Hercik

Your pet could not be in better hands.

Vymente politiky

Currently the most active group pushing for a cleaner political environment.

Wein&Co.

Austria’s biggest wine internet shop delivers to CZ. Check the prices against similar Czech shops. Depending on the currency, I usually save 20%.

 

Thanks to Outbreak for the inspiration.
