Review of Sunglass Time

30 May 08, 13:53

oh please

All I wanted was a pair of sun glasses to go on holiday with. I didnt expect the spanish inquisition. One pair, just one ... the sales assistant had the whole shop on my head before I could even look in a mirror. Nice lady, but boy is she keen to please.

Review of Marks & Spencer

Top Banana

M and S has moved from being an old fuddy duddy shop to a shop most people buy from.

The great thing about this outlet in Clarkes Village, is that it is much cheaper than the high street stores. Obviously this stocks mainly end of ranges, but boy is it cheap. A bought a £40 dressing gown for £18 - dad loved it. This branch is huge too.

Review of Thorntons

30 May 08, 13:44

You know what ...

you know what ..... you cant beat Thorntons for sweets. I guess that one shop is much like another, but at least with this one its a bit cheaper because of the location.

Always come up trumps with the seasonal goodies - easter, christmas etc.

Review of Past Times

nostalgia

unfortunately, nostalgia isnt what it used to be .... but this shop comes close. Quite a mish mash of items, mainly presents I guess. Old fasioned sweets in tins, olde worlde looking mirrors and candles. CDs with old 30s music and bands, books about the 60s and those sort of things you saw in grannies house when you were young.

Review of United Colors Of Benetton

30 May 08, 13:36

what IS the attraction

Sorry but I can not see the attraction of Benetton. I have never ever bought anything from this branch or any other to be honest. I always look, but end up leaving bemused and wondering if I had missed something.

This shop has a really nice floor area but I never see anyone buying. It sort of rambles on from one rail to another, but never anything in it that appeals.

Review of Presto Retail

30 May 08, 13:30

hate Presto

the word rip off come to mind ... I hat e even contemplating going here to eat. The pasties look tempting enough, the smell is lovely and the fillings enticing, Spicey Curry Flavour, Ordinary meat and veg, parsnip(!). BUT 1) they are blinking expensive £3.75 for a pasty is disgusting and 2) once you have chewed a couple of mouth fulls of stodgy ,crusty pastry .. hunt the dollop of filling.

Review of Bedeck

30 May 08, 13:24

full of bedding

Huge selection, amazing value.

Whatever you are after in bedding you will find it here. Duvets in all sizes, Pillow cases, bed spreads, sheets etc etc etc. Great thing is that they are sold in packs as you would expect 9duvet cover and a couple of cases and a vallance sheet) BUT you can also buy extra in the range as individual items, which is great as you save on buying two "packs"

Review of Le Creuset

30 May 08, 13:20

Aunty Jane

I fell out with my sister in law over a le cruset pot. true - she nicked it from my mother in law and I had my eyes on it!

Thats how much I love cooking with Le Cruset.

A whole shop with the complete range is amazing , traditionally brown, orange and blue in colour, but last visit saw some in PINK!!

Always expensive, no real advantage of buying here as from any other stockist, but at least its all here, not just selected items

Review of Dartington Crystal

30 May 08, 13:16

I live near the factory

How can it be that I live 10 mins drive away from the Factory where they actually make the crystal, yet by driving for 90 mins, I can be in Street at this shop and buy the glass cheaper than I can at home.

Madness. Great for the bargains for some of the worlds best crystal
