OK, sorry if this offends as your missus works in a Jessops, but I feel I have to say this.
As someone that considered turning a passion in to full time employment a couple of years ago, having had experience with vehicle modification companies, the film industry and selling creative shots to the public, I feel I can comment with some conviction on photographic equipment, technique and the places that sell the stuff.
I have had numerous encounters with incompetent Jessops staff over the years, from duff advice to generous displays of incompetence and lack of knowledge. In one of the Stockport stores, not one member of staff knew what an off-camera-shoe-cord was. I've had incorrect advice on the quality of glass from the Buxton store (which is no more), poor advice from the Darlington store on print colour negative film.
And don't even get me started on their trading ethics and pricing structures!

How far is Kwakland? If it's not that far from High Peak land, I would be happy to show you the basics of what a DSLR can do over a compact (I have both - compacts have their place), and how easy they are to use.
