Yes, there is one just North of the Tyne Tunnel. They are currently constructing TT2, so am not sure how you get to it now. Will find out and respond!

hi. yes it's still there but is for card-holders which are available to employees of the local/surrounding food manufacturers and police/fire/ambulance/nhs staff - not sure if others are able to join.

i have also recently discovered another factory shop round the corner from the company shop, which sells kitchen and homewares, called 'creative tops' - although i haven't found it open yet.

the handbag shop in desborough is good - you can get jane norman from there to name but one and good prices too.

am off to read this thread from the start.

any idea on road names where either of these two are?

I went there with friends who are members. You can only go in with a membership card and can only take one guest. I picked up a leaflet and asked if there were other branches ( it is not near where I live) and was told yes, and she ratteled off a few places, and told me theer was even one in spain. Told to call the number on the leaflet for details of others. When I did, I was told there are "no other shops you can use as they are all inside factories". She was very firm about it and I had not said what I did yet, so I fibbed and said that i did work in a factory. Was then told that I could apply in person by bringing 2 wage slips and photo ID to the shop. I can't of course but hope this is helpful to other peeps. My friend works in the NHS, not catering. I think it might be for keyworkers or low paid folks or civil servants, or some combination of those. Lots of things are on the sellby date but they are cheap indeed and were branded with the names of all the major supermarkets but apparently "are packed for company shop Ltd irrespective of manufacturer or multiple labels". It is a bit of a mystery, but we don't need to know I suppose.
Googling them fails to bring up a website, but does bring up ads for jobs with them in various branches on the JobCentre Plus site. IF they do have a web presence can someone post it here?
Ta.

I am looking for some bargain shops for formal shirts and trousers around London. Tried to find it in past posts but couldn't find one. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Hatfield Galleria Outlet centre just off A1 not far from North London (about 20 mins from barnet) has host of shops - there is a formal hire/suit shop (sorry can't recall name)
M&S, Clarks, Gap, Nike, TK Maxx (usual prices), HMV, to name a few.

https://www.thegalleria.co.uk/home.aspx will have all info.

If you live near Coupar Angus, in Perthshire, the chicken factory there do whole chickens (Over-runs, often heading towards the Co-op) from 50p - £1.50 each. They also have beef, chicken portions, mince, bacon and various other things. The shop, which is open to members of the public, is the small white portacabin before you get to the main gate. Open from 12.00 until 4 (I think) Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Hope that helps someone.
