    I'd definitely call into town centre, much more choice than at The Fort.

    It is NOT a dump, it's a great shopping city now :p

    fort is good for clothes and the variety seems quite good but if youve got longer to spare its worth going to the main town centre as you have got a lot more shops.

    I'd definitely go into the centre too, The Fort's nothing special. The Bull Ring's open from 9.30am - 8pm tomorrow.
