Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Writtle shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Writtle offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Writtle at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Writtle? Wrong! If the Writtle is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Writtle then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Writtle? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Writtle and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Writtle wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Writtle then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Writtle site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Writtle, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Writtle, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Writtle lies in [Essex, England, just two miles to the west of Chelmsford.

Domesday Book, as a Royal demesne / manor of 194 households, the village boasts the site of one of King John's hunting lodges, sited within the grounds of the present HE institution "
Writtle College" (circa 1210).
The estate and village were later a possession of Isobel de Bruys (Brus), via a grant of Henry III. For a time thereafter it was leased to a Francis & Joan Bache, the estate was seised by Isobel's Grandson, the ex-communicated, Robert The Bruce, King of Scots, in the 1320s, also noted here.
Of its claims to fame, the most notable are:
The birthplace of Robert the Bruce on July 11,1274 (chronicled by Geoffrey_the_Baker, et al),
Robert's later marriage to his second wife Elizabeth de Burgh in 1302, while trying to gain the crown of Scotland at the court of Edward I of England.
The home of Writtle College , one of the UK's oldest and largest land-based colleges. It is a partner institution of the University of Essex.
A distinguished place in the history of radio
broadcasting. In the early 1920s it was the site of the experimental Marconi Company station
2MT ("Two Emma Toc"), from where Captain Peter Eckersley made the name of the village famous with his station announcement "this is Two Emma Toc, Writtle testing, Writtle testing". The Writtle transmission station was also the last independent to be assorbed by the
BBC, suspending transmission in January 1923. Independent Radio did not reimerge in the UK till the 1960s.
Writtle has a traditional village green, complete with duck pond, and
Normans church and has been described as: 'one of the loveliest villages in England, with a ravishing variety of ancient cottages'.
