Blackpool one is the best by a long way, may have to have a look in at weekend whilst we are over that way.

lol yeah i have looked at oxfam online
- if you dont want to trundle through the one item clothing ( which may not even fit you when you get it) then there is fair trade fashion
i took a peek at the skirts very nice, prices start at an unbelievable £60.00 :O

so the train to blackpool again i think

Think you are wrong about skirts costing sixty pounds

I'm not being stingy, but I would want a full body transplant for 60 quid...either that or something I would be wearing every day until the day i shuffle off this mortal coil.

And it would have to be something very spectacular for me to pay that much for second hand gear. Oxfam or no oxfam!

It aint the oxfam stuff, its the fairtrade stuff.

Still feel it is a bit steep for a skirt......I'll stick with M&S.

Lilly · 05-06-2008, 20:51

Clothes don't seem to be made in the UK any more. Certainly clothes from M&S and Mothercare are all made abroad.

Whether they are produced in reputable factories abroad or cobbled together on Pat Pong Market I don't know.

I wouldn't knowingly buy clothes that had been made using child labour in foreign sweat shops.

the nearest Primark is Preston or Bolton, whichever way you wanna go, but i'd recommend Preston NOT Bolton

lol am of to primark on Saturday the long way, tosh says they no you by your first name with me going that many times lol

I tried the one in Plymouth when I visited my daughter last year and hated it. The prices were fine and I did have fun helping my eldest grand-daughter in the teenage section but for stuff for me it was a nightmare.

All that pushing and shoving, no, never again.

When you are over again try and get to the Blackpool store it is great

harwood red · 05-06-2008, 22:47

I've never been, keep saying I'm gonna go, but I HATE SHOPPING

junetta · 05-06-2008, 22:48

Don´t tell my brother yet but I am hoping to get to Ossy in October, that´s if the exchange rate improves. He usually drags me off to Blackpool to see the lights. Happen we might do a deal and I can check out the Primark x
