Ooohhh yes, I do like Wilkos but the car parking charges I have to pay to visit the nearest one stops me from doing it as often as I would like

Re: What’s your favourite kind of shop?

Probably Harvey Nichols or John Lewis although I often don't buy anything; they're just close to my house and handy to go in to if it's raining.

I dislike the barren wasteland that is Debenhams or, even worse, BHS.

Wilko's, pet shops, garden centres, and sometimes Dunelm - you can get a cup of tea and a cake at our Dunelm too.

There's probably more, but I can't think at the mo.

Re: What’s your favourite kind of shop?

My favourite shop is the local DIY shop 'Handyman House' it is like an Aladin's cave.
You can buy small packets of nails and screws rather than a whole box full. They also have rarely seen cleaning products and polish and gardening fabric on rolls so you can buy just a small amount.
The staff are very good too , there are lots of them and they will carry stuff to the car.
Delivery is free if you spend £20.

Re: What’s your favourite kind of shop?

No contest. Pikes Place Market in Seattle, Washington. It's a kind of gigantic farmer's market where you can buy fresh seafood, including live lobsters, cheeses from all over the world, coffee ground to your specifications, breads of every imaginable description, meat shops filled with magnificently aged-beef, crisp fresh vegetables and fruits, a stall that sells nothing but chocolate, and pastry shops selling everything from chocolate eclairs to Danish pastries, fresh doughnuts and cannoli.

A true delight for the senses.

Re: What’s your favourite kind of shop?

What some people might call junk shops, they aren't that to me though. I love poking around for hidden treasures, I like places like Bay Tree Interiors too just to get ideas )

I can spend whole days having a great time shopping and not buy a thing especially with a girlfriend, men have no stamina when it comes to shopping
