Depends what I want to buy. For food and 'everyday' items - St Albans, as it's near where I live or the Harlequin Centre at Watford for more of a choice. If I want something special, I'll either to to Kingston-upon-Thames, where I used to live or to the West End of London. CB >|<

lol....sue...I must sound so sad sometimes...but I am quite a funny person you know... Love Susie xx

cheers susie, can go to bed happy now, sue

Of course it is Sue, even Germany accept that they call it the Eurocard though but not many places here accept Visa though!! Love Susie xx

oh susie--- dont say that, can feel some palpitations coming on ! is mastercard safe, lol, sue.

Oh yes!!!!!! Glasgow why did I not think of there after all every time I am back in UK I stay there at the in-laws with hubby and spend lots of money there......lol Love Susie xx

Hi Sue, I have not had switch but my mum has and am I right saying that less places are starting to accept it now? Why though? Love Susie xx

I've lived just outside New York for 5 years and the first time I went shopping there was just two weeks ago. My sister in law was over so we thought we would do some 'serious' shopping. What a let down. Give me Glasgow anyday. Christine.

er, well anywhere that takes switch ! lol, sue.

Hello, I miss IKEA in the UK as it is just not the same here in Germany they shut so much earlier shopping is a big no no on Sunday and nothing is open apart from the Icecream parlours they are a very religious country and when on bank holiday's you want to go shopping everything is shut.....lol I did used to shop in the great western outle village t in Swindon when I lived in Tidworth....That was okay Love Susie xx

Not quite what you asked for, but my great regret in life - as an oldie - I can walk past a sports shop and not even give it a glance. They used to be places of real magic. happy days (long gone)

Bryan not keen on Tooting, but like Primark. Thats our nearest one, althought we tend to go to Arndale centre in wandsworth for primark. Another cheapy shop lol

Jill YES you;re quite right Ikea is good... suits whole family... play room for 3 boys, daughter too old now. The kids love their meatballs and also the cafe as they go out, where they can get hotdogs and chips. I love the fact you can refill the drinks... makes it real value. On the downside it can get manic in there, so tend try and go when it's quiet. But it is open for a long time each day, think it's midnight on a week night and 10pm on a saturday. Wouldn't fancy working there LOL

I'm not really into shopping but I think Taunton has a good range of shops, from poundland to boutiques. I had a look in the Next sale but couldn't find anything I liked. Could have spent quite a bit in EWM but restrained myself & only spent £30. When it comes to shoes I go for comfort & look for Van Dal or Hush Puppies. About once a year I take a look at Clarkes Village in Street. Vivienne

shelli,they won that honour a couple of years ago,but i think the trafford centre,with all its entertainment is better. i also go to tooting,to buy 'nearly new' clothes,as the savings are really good. bryan.

IKEA!!!!!............any town...anywhere....anytime!!!!

Yes Southport a few miles away from Liverpool...... but wouldn't like to walk there!! Stel.xx Great shopping in Southport BTW.
