    Has anyone seen the cologne stores on ESA this time round or have they lost the client? Not seen them for a good while now. I know RM got one version of the cologne stores, slightly different name.

    Is there anyone in York on here? If so, is it a long public transport journey to get from the city centre to McArthur Glen retail park? Cheers in advance.

    Been to it by car and it is about 10 minutes from the City centre but looking here http://www.yorkdesigneroutlet.com/find-us/index.htm doesn't look that far, Plenty of buses too.

    They were done just before Christmas last so think they will be due again next month.

    not done one for a while (couple of years ?), possibly with good reason but are GR sofas a pain the a** or simples ?

    I did one a couple of weeks ago and it was a pleasure, totally straightforward, no pushy sales people and a fare fee unlike the electrical store I did the same day where I felt like I was pulling teeth for a lower fee.
  • Would someone who is a platinum on the food place we mustn't talk about let me know if any of Mimi's new alerts are showing for Scotland- I've just gone back to platinum after a cancellation which demoted me, and can't see any Latin Anthonies at all. Many thanks :) (Not that I want any- just want to know if I should be seeing them)

    There's a park and ride bus (forget which number but could check). Which job have you got there - don't get too many York jobs please :rotfl:

    Mimi - the Park and Ride buses go there. I know as I did it last August. If you are coming into York by train then the buses stop at the railway station. Have a look at: http://www.york.gov.uk/transport/Parking/Park_and_Ride/2Designer_outlet_PR1/

    I still can't believe people have done them.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Thank you Big Graeme, Mamashaz and Kst101. I love you all so much (well not really, I'm just being OTT :p), and thanks for the information. I just hope it does not snow next week. Last time I was in York for ms'ing it was knee deep!

    Serendipity, the Romanian Anthony's are normally only in Scotland. You will have to call them tomorrow and ask them to update you.

    There's a a bit of snow hanging around at the moment but not too much. And you can do jobs there next week as it's half term so I have a bit of a ban on MS due to two small people to amuse :rotfl:
