I went to Gene Sutcliffe's sale where I bought a jacket and scarf, but it was like a plague of locusts had been through by the time I got there....and there was very little left either in the window or the shop!

Shops in Italy make more of an effort I think and people as a whole are more fashion conscious - even though they do favour a lot of black! Pound shops are also very rare over here too...Below a few pics of some of the nicest shops in Cremona.
It's funny. I haven't been in Accrington Town Centre for over 3 years, but the last time I had a good look round it reminding me of a town stuck in another time. M&S seemed to be almost hanging on to the late 80s and there was little else to impress. I don't want to knock it but it was dull and dank. That said I would still drive to Lancaster, Blackburn or Accrington rather than shop in Blackpool.
