Yes, and it is like a jumble sale at sale time.

Fimbo · 30/03/2007 14:37

Agreed Laughingduck. Hate the way all the shoes are just tossed together too. I have vowed never to go again.

Their mid season sales are normally pretty naff.

curlysmum · 30/03/2007 14:45

went to the one in Moorgate today load of old rubbish.........

laughingduck · 30/03/2007 14:49

I went once about 10 years ago - god I have never seen so many posessed females with armfuls of clothes in my life. Have never been back.

MrsBadger · 30/03/2007 15:14

really, why not have a leisurely day out at one of their clearance shops instead?
Same cack as the sale but barely any people...

laughingduck · 30/03/2007 15:30

Nothing will ever tempt me to go th cheshire oaks again mrsb - dh always buys stuff but I never do. You are right though, still same old cack.

chancery · 30/03/2007 15:30

i agree cack cackness from cackola.

mamatres · 30/03/2007 15:34

would never ever ever! think its tragic that in jan sales they open at about 5am and people actuially 1, go, and 2, go so early they actually queue.
next is complete w**ky rubbish anyway, not trendy or quality and the sale stuff is even worse- the worst stuff of usual tat that even the worst dressed next-customers dont want.
makes you look like a styleless clueless suburbanite who doesnt know their own style. the fashion equivalent of Dido.

laughingduck · 30/03/2007 15:35

lol @ "fashion equivalent of dido"

themaskedpoEAster · 30/03/2007 16:00

well I dont make a habit out of going to these sales, but once or twice have been passing and gone in for a look (a Next near here is virtually always empty - even during sale time, I can look and breathe at the same time)- I have come out with jeans both times.

might shock you 'funkier than thou' types - but for normal day to day wear their stuff isn't too bad (IMO that is)

wouldn't go on purpose though .. and NEVER at silly o'clock!

Kif · 30/03/2007 16:01

they're where you go to buy inoffensive office clothes, no?

NuttyMuffins · 30/03/2007 16:02

I will have a browse when I take dd1 to ballet, Ds needs trousers and Next ones fit him really well.

AnAngelWithin · 30/03/2007 16:06

noddyholder · 30/03/2007 16:08

would anyone really get up that early for NEXT?????????????It is the worst shop I have ever been in

Marne · 30/03/2007 16:11

I buy the kids clothes in Next, i have always found it good quality, im not so keen on the adult clothes. I wont be going but i did go for the Jan sales and got loads of bits for dd1, i also find the kids trousers a good fit.

Chipstick · 30/03/2007 20:05

??? God I bet you all dress in Boden do you? Heaven forbid Next? You can be such snobs at times!!

FGS it is a normal shop for normal people that haven't got shed loads of money to splash out on clothes.

No, I have never been to their sales and can think of nothing worse but for day to day clothes I'll happily browse/shop there.

Skyler · 30/03/2007 20:07

Nothing worth having on line in the sale at all after my VIP browse.

dan4han · 30/03/2007 20:09

OrvilleRedenbacher · 30/03/2007 20:13

defoo has got worse and is rather dull btu sheesh!

BizzyDint · 30/03/2007 20:13

you can see on line what's in the sale, save yourselves going down there. put the website in, then forward slash, sale.

Fimbo · 31/03/2007 19:20

I used to like it in the 80's and hands up I do have a couple of pairs of jeans from there. But it has gone down hill rapidly in the last few years. It used to be a little more exclusive in the 80's but now every man and his dog shop there and you can spot their stuff a mile off.
