Although it's laid out in categories, I find that that my logic doesn't necessarily follow theirs, and I have wandered around almost aimlessly. It can also be hard to find a member of staff to help you. This aside, they do have a vast selection of goods and their sales are good. Everything from washing machines to radios, irons to vacuum cleaners. If you know what it is you want, go here. If you're not certain, try to do some research first. The staff do try to get you to buy a higher spec than you need. I hardly go in here now.

My Grandma, Anne is a sweet lady who has spent her life working and still relentlessly keeps up with her work load on her own which as you can imagine, in her eighties can mean the shop is a little untidy but to be honest it just adds to the character. I hope you decide to pop in as she just loves new visitors and a good old chat and hope you can see for yourself why so many people love the place and the cherished memories and atmosphere of her time.
