    Fair enough, that does sound wrong if they're selling them on and if they worked together to prevent others getting it.
    I just imagined 15 Asian women grabbing some each thinking they'd be sorted for their baths for a year!

    No, unfortunately it was to sell on, which you cannot stop them from doing but they were denying people like me who wanted to use it from buying. I felt that was wrong.

    Anyway it's over and done with now.

    I was also in meadowhall and must say the greed of this certain group was quite upsetting to watch, when you could see others like myself and millierose trying to buy things for personal use but literally being shoved out of the way
  • Asian bashing aside (not sure why it seems relevant to mention that they were ASIAN) but anyway...

    Guildford had quite a lot, no S&G or Sanctuary but plenty of other items available. A Rosie beauty salon toy, lots of men's Topshop and FCUK toiletries, no 17, Fearne Hat boxes and Gok items.

    People don't seem to realise how utterly ridiculous it is to do that. I think it would be considered pretty strange to write here that a group of women doing the same thing were "white". But any other ethnicity and it defines them & has to be mentioned.

    After thinking I wouldnt chance the bad roads, managed to persuade hubby to come and he drove... :j ( he's far better at driving in snowy conditions :) anyway just back from Boots in Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen, got a good selection of stuff , but there is still decent amount of stuff left, and they were puting more on the shelves... Ted Baker, FCUK etc.....might be worth a look if anyone is in the area:)
  • Can anyone advise what levels of stock Speke has please? Got to wait for hubby to come home with the car :-(

    I find it quite offensive too maybe its a region thing ?
