The shelves in the Southampton store have very little on them with lots of gaps. There's a small display of tents & awnings. but to be fair its not a huge space so they've filled that area as best they could. We still pop in regularly and nearly always come away with something - last time I found a wok!

I didn't know you get 5% off for being a member of one of the clubs! I have bought loads of stuff from the Sheffield branch over the years as I have to travel to Sheffield on business several times a year. If only I had known.

Blast! I never knew I could get that 5% either. I went for the first time yesterday (Halesowen). I have to say I was very impressed. Particularly because they offer a price match so the we got the £70 hitch lock we went for, for £52. Result :-) So I guess missing an extra 5% wasn't too bad.

We go to the Southampton Store, always end up buying things and we can spend between 1 - 2 hours browsing in there over the two floors.

In the car park there is a mobile snack bar, always end up having a coffee tooLOL!

The thing that irritates me most is that I can go on the website and it will show something in stock at Halesowen - I go and it is out of stock! I really can't believe they have sold all the stock in the 10 minutes it took me to drive there!!
