Advantages: Huge selection and variation of items

Disadvantages: Crowded, long queues

This can end up being one of the most frustrating shops on the high street. This is for a number of reasons:
1. The shelves are always crammed with stuff so you have to stand and look where everything is.
2. The shop is very tightly packed - so you spend half your time going "excuse me " or having it said to you due to point 1.
3. The queue for the tills is always horrendous.

However having said that it must have some plus points otherwise I wouldn't try and make sure I visit it when in town. So the plus points are:
1. Some real bargains to be had - some main brand products at a snip of the price - like Johnson.
2. Really good for Party bag bits and bobs
3. Great for glow Sticks - fed up paying 80p for one little glow stick - get 25 and connectors for £1
4. Great for food bags and cleaning cloths.
5. Great for Halloween stuff
6. Great for stocking up the First Aid Kit - cooling pads, bandages etc

SO... if you can put up with all the minus points there are some good things to be had - they also sell some clothing items but I can't say I've bought any. I tend to stick to the items above and generally they have been OK.

Summary: Worth the trip but beware the downsides
