Debenhams; doesn't it just make you want to slit your wrists and die?

[FluffyMummy123]

Imagine if thatnwas the ONLY shop you could buy from?!shudder

Oh dear, didn't realise I was that unfashionable - I quite like some of it.
Rocha John Rocha have some lovely summer tops in.
Also agree with Somuchtobits about Denby. They've also stopped selling our range.

Your local one is particularly shiit though cod

Gone right down hill since the Principles concessions shut. God, how I miss their jeans.

I do go in Debenhams to get my eyebrows threaded by a sadistic Indian lady.

It is awful isn't it? It is like the WHSmith of department stores - everything PILED UP and no room to breathe. They are also like vegas casinos, you go in one, you can't find the door to get out and lose all sense of time and self.

I hardly ever go in there. Mind you they do differ - the Gloucester one is far better than the Cheltenham one (despite the Cheltenham one being brand new, it is so cramped and ill designed).

I don't know why you would go to Denebhams if you had a House of Fraser in town anyway. HoF a a lot better.

Bargain chocolates if you like Thorntons.

Viva - I did that once. But the threading concession is under the stairs - so people go up and look down on you being tortured, and all you can hear (because you have your eyes squeezed shut in agony) are little boys going 'what are they doing to that lady, mummy?'

House of Fraser - seriously. Maybe we just have the worst one in the country but unless you're over 55 you wouldn't venture up to the clothes depts. Its all Vyella and Jaeguer.

I hear you about being the public spectacle. Last time I was in there a crowd gathered to watch. She finished my eyebrows and asked quite loudly if I'd like my top lip doing as well.

I went in there on Christmas Eve to buy presents - all the staff had to work out percentages in their head and knock them off the price for some unfathomable reason.

This poor soul was there going 'what is 15% off £35' in a real panic.

Ooh our House of Fraser is great - MNG, All Saints, Warehouse and Kookai, Calvin klein, all sorts of really good jeans.

But yes upstairs it is a bit chiffon frocky.

TBF it went through a phase of being quite good about 10 yrs ago. Now, though, it is shitola.

haha Viva - I got that in HoF when I had my eyebrows waxed.

I was served by a lady in Debs who used 'thingumy' for every other word. Seriously, about 25 times in our exchange.

'Would you like a Debenhams card? You get 20% of in thingumy.'

'In what?'

'Thingumy. The cafe. And you can use it for thingumy. And 10% off for thingumy.'

'For what?'

'For the next three months'.

It was like something out of the Two Ronnies.

Oh god Dorothy Perkins

A shop where people go to die. Like Portishead.

I mean WHY OH WHY did someone think that Dorothy Perkins was a good name to inspire fashion conscious young women to go there.

You may as well have a shop called Deirde Barlow.

LOL Deirdre Barlow.

People who shop there call it 'Dotty P' to try to add some va-va-voom to it, don't they? But I'm not fooled.

People who say Dotty P's should be shot.

They overlap with the people who say Mataland on the wanker venn diagram.

My goodness GOML, I think it might be time for mummy's special drink.

I think Dotty P is long due a makeover

Like her brother, Bert Ons

dotty p and bert ons lolol

couppple of fashionistas

I don't actually feel that strongly about it.

Heavens, I'd hate to see you on something you do feel strongly about.

The EK one is much better than that one MIdnight

Do you have the same Denby as I do, Greenshadow???
