    Anyone in Liverpool needing a school uniform, I can highly recommend a little shop in Broadgreen Road, Old Swan (L13) just off Prescot Road who sells uniforms for a number of local schools both primary and secondary (I know that they do "Childwall Sports College" AKA "Childwall Comprehensive" AKA "The Holt" as my mum used to buy parts of my uniform there as well as my sisters & now brothers!) . I searched Asda, Tesco, Ethel Austin and numerous local shops to find DD's royal blue tracksuit bottoms with no success in even finding any in the right colour (school wants £8.50 a pair because they have the school logo on them!) and they cost me £5.99 a pair in this shop.

    Specific details (taken from their carrier bag) are:

    Swan Fashions, 13 Broadgreen Road, Old Swan, Liverpool
    0151 228 9000

    They specialise in schoolwear but if you don't live nearby I'd ring to check they have what you need before going as its a small shop with ALOT of stock, including stuff with the school logos on, all great quality and much cheaper than Lazer on London Road or the schools themselves!

    I second that. I used to buy my daughters uniform there. (She's 20 now) The shop owner is really friendly and will order stuff in for you. Prices are really reasonable compared to others.
