What's Your Favourite Shop

[Astonvanilla]

What shop do you enjoy most shopping in, my least favourite is B&Q, the customers do all the work, love TKMax, Debenhams and for food shopping Sainsburys and Marks and Spencer

For BD & Euphemia:
Waitrose is the food part of John Lewis, so it's just a little bit 'posh', but not very.

There are stores all across the country:

When you find one, I recommend heading straight for the deli counter!

Google.
Window shop all day long : )

I've never been to Waitrose either jj; there's not one in our town and it's a bit posh for me; even Sainsburys is too posh sometimes!

Agree on Waitrose for food but love some of the smaller independents as to butchers/cheese/bakeries/farm shops.....as for wine used to love Odd Bins but we have a brilliant interesting vino shop down here.

Of recent experience, I loved the farm shop/vino/flower outlets just off the M3 at Hook - well worth a visit if any of you live up that way......

Will give it a shot Chris..........once I have saved up my pension!

Thought you'd be a Wallis girl Soph ; )

[joeluke]

Waitrose is expensive

[sophie_1003]

Ikea

[askyourgran]

I like Ikea annie, but I;m always exhausted by the time I've walked all the way around th displays, not to mention trying to pronounce all the things they have.

Marks waitrose ikea the range and emerald crafts in lyndhurst

[annie0000]

gran - it's a proper day out isn't it? I always find that its a place where time has no meaning, you never know if it's going to be dark by the time you make it out!! Kids love it too which is a bonus!! They used to like going to the play area and then having lunch - now they are happy to wander round .........and then have lunch!!!

Love Costco too.

[ladybirder]

Waitrose has an essential range which is very good and not expensive. I don't think generally it's that expensive, not for good quality stuff.

[TTG]

Wilkinsons for cheaper household and diy goods than anywhere else.

You'd love my favourite secondhand bookshop:
http://www.chapelbook...hop/chapel/index.html

If, unusually, there's someone behind the counter when you walk in, you'll immediately be offered a cup of coffee. (If not, look for the sign saying 'For attention, bang can with stick'. Pick up the said stick and wallop the battered old oil can with it. When someone comes, ask if the kettle's on!).

Click the 'About Us' link from that web page, to meet the guy who's behind the (decidedly odd, but totally wonderful) bookshop.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Chico that looks superb. What a pity it is so far away from me.

[vivandorron]

I haven't got any because to me they are all pricey.

Sorry folks, it's a grumpy old man here who can remember the days when a packet of 20cigarettes could be purchased for a florin and a pint of beer for a shilling.

Perhaps it's time for me to quit smoking......I have given-up going to the pub because of the smoking ban. Hope the Ed doesn't ban smokers on AB.:-)
