Re: Abbey Street uniform shop - drug using equipment?
 
I've written to the Telegraph and told them that the stuff had already been taken off the shelves before the paper even went on sale. It would be nice if they'd print a follow up story saying how the responsible shop owners would rather lose sales of these things rather than upset any customers, but I won't hold my breath.

Well considering the shop has removed the stuff from sale, there isn't really any more to be said on the original topic is there? Presumably everybody should be happy now.

I have got an interesting tangent though so I might start up another thread for that.

It's the only place in Accy, I am sure other folk could set up and do it, and probably be cheaper too but until then we are stuck with no choice.
To be honest I don't mind the place, always got the stock and staff are very helpful. Bit pricey though.

I answered that question pages ago. It isn't a monopoly as such. It's just the only shop that can be bothered or maybe the only one that has enough space. There's nothing to stop anyone else doing it. There was another shop that did but it wasn't as big and it is now closed, has been for years.

i wouldnt say that its pricey, they have started selling Rhyddings uniforms at Whittakers in Blackburn and the polo shirts and sweatshirts cost a lot more in there than at Abbey Street

We gave them lots of free publicity... wonder how many people have been in to look at the *ahem* 'drug using equipment'

But what is the quality like at both shops?

Re: Abbey Street uniform shop - drug using equipment?
 
Dunno about the other shop but I know the quality of the stuff we got from the school was a lot worse than what we got from the Abbey St shop when Mimi first started at Moorhead. They have 'Fruit of the Loom' and 'Trutex' which are both decent makes.

As I said before, I get our school uniform from school but I did go to Abbey Street once for some p.e kit.

That was expensive in comparison to Adams and Woolworths.

A plain white t shirt was £2.99 at Abbey Street......I thought this was reasonable until I saw the prices in the other two shops.

The other two shops were selling them at £3 for two. They were better quality than the Abbey Street ones too. The Abbey Street ones were very thin.

Trouble is though a lot of schools won't let you just have the plain white t-shirts. It's got to be the stuff with the official school logo. So they advertise all this cheapo stuff at Asda and Tesco but it's no use to us for school uniform.
