Under the large yellow and red lettering of Orientex at no. 144, to the right of the front door, there were till recently two shop window kiosks. Closest to the door was a sweet little business called The Haberdashery, and beside that, to the right, was Orientex Mobile. To Orientex Mobile's right, 7 Stars Mobile is still trading.

Orientex Mobile was run by a Mr Malik, who sold the mobile phones, also purveying accessories and a large range of phone cards. He is another man who believes that the future is wireless and he can be contacted on 07960 488851. People ringing it will find out he has moved to the left hand unit at Benny Dee, next to The Haberdashery, which also moved. He has not yet got round to giving his business a new name.
