Anybody know where i could get a couple of school short sleeve blouses in plain white from in a age 15-16? 36-38 inch chest?
Ive been to...The school shop st marys pl, they dont sell them!! .New look town they only have age 8!. Sainsburys only have up to 11yrs.....Asda (usually a good bet but no only have upto age 12!).....tesco age 7yrs.....M&S only got 14yrs and below.....in desperation bon marche, dotty p`s....3 shops in the guildhall including store 21!! and the market - none of these sell anything that would remotely pass as a school blouse!
So i went to retail park (queens), matalan age 10 or under....peacocks age 11 or under.......new look 8 yrs only!! (and gotta say how useful the new carphone warehouse and costa coffee will be not!!)
You may say why leave it so long.... well thats because when i got the rest of the uniform (trousers etc) 3 weeks ago they didnt have any then either!! i thought maybe they would filter throught as there is a new academic year about the start!
So looks like a journey out of town to tamworth (upcoming shopping area so i hear)!
No wonder stafford is becoming a ghost town!
One last thing....had to use the toilets in the market......i will never use them again!! I had to report them to the manager, my daughter nearly threw up!! I pity the poor cleaner who had to go in and clean up the mess on the floor of 2 cubicles....not to mention all over the walls (i doubt it was a case of missed the toilet - it looked deliberate) disgusting!
Rant over tamworth here i come
