  • Karrimor are crap now since they got bought by sports direct. Really cheap quality :( shame because they used to be really quite good

    Have to admit, I am rather tired of having to go to Sports Direct, the annoying thing was last time we ewer in Costco OH got some Fila ones for about £7 but they did not do women's ones. I have to be fussy with my trainers as I have a high arch, generally Reebok or Karrimor, Kappa is a possible too.

    Be careful as there is really expensive lamb with very similar labels.

    The little dish are on the PYO 20% in Waities, they are also 3 for £5 in Morribobs.

    Better then free soup in Morribobs as well (NCG)
