For a few years now, we have been using a very reliable company called
Zolan Flowers in Guernsey but we have mislaid the contact details.
Zolan flowers have sent fresh flowers of our choice overnight to
Zummerzet and at reasonable prices.

We have been scouring (Oooah Nooah, David!) the interwebby thing but
failed to find any genuine contact details though it looks as if there
are a number of spoof sites nevertheless; if anyrats have used this
service or have contact details, we would be thrilled to dollrags to
have them please.

Toodle Pip,

We were given the details originally by a lady we see at the local bus
stop. Last time I mislaid them (and it was me wot mislaid them), we got
them from her a second time but she no longer needs to buy flowers now so
I know she doesn't have the details any more. They don't have a web site
- and if you look them up all you get is obviously spam. Have used the
Guernsey version of Yell (seems to be known as Sure), also tried Google
maps (which led me to another flower company which is considerably more up
market and not as versatile). I can't help thinking that whoever runs
Zolan (and we don't even have a name to look up alternatively) probably
has more than one business at the premises. I can't even remember seeing
a complete postal address on the leaflet, just a postcode and the phone
number.

Although over the years we've had the occasional new leaflet they don't
put their prices up every year by any means so can't guarantee we'll get
one now or even this year.

Sincerely Chris

Perhaps too late now but, from the Internet Archive, that URL became
parked in 2005. From 2004, it has

ZOLAN FLOWERS BY POST
ZOLAN, ROUTE DE FARRAS, FOREST, GUERNSEY, U.K. GY8 0EA
Telephone: 01481 - 263328 Fax: 01481 - 266198

Googling those numbers for stuff on the web now gives a contact page for
Guernsey Bowling Club:

Guernsey Bowling Club. Please complete the below form or you can
contact Mr Paul Sargeant, President Zolan, Route de Farras, Forest,
Guernsey, GY8 0EA. Telephone Number: 01481 263328, Fax Number: 01481
266198, Mobile Number: 0778 1103254

Assuming you've used them since 2005, it's probably worth a call.

Thanks for doing this. Seems a bit weird that the number is now Guernsey
Bowling Club though.

Zolan Flowers is indeed alive and kicking, under new ownership and "blossoming". The telephone number is 01481 263684, e-mail is zolanf...@gmail.com and postal address "Le Marinel Nursery, Rue des Pres, St Peters, Guernsey GY7 9AH. Natalia has taken over the business. Having worked in flowers for 17 years most of the flowers are sourced fresh from the Nursery.

Cooer, a ghost in the machine nearly a year after the original enquiry :)
