I couldn't agree more about all the shopping centres being the same.I really get mad about it because not only do they sell the same things,but they are all geared for the youngsters,if you are like me and over 25(well over) then you can't find anything to wear.It used to be lovely to go to another town/city and explore the different shops,but sadly that is a thing of the past.We do have a shopping centre in Manchester,the Lowry and it actually has 2 craft shops,surprising really...

This is one of my pet hates Jan, every city/town centre now has one of these huge shopping centres either in it or nearby and everyone I've ever been in all look the same!! Same shops, same places to eat, etc, etc ok they may be set out differently, but in my opinion if you've been in one, you'll know whats in any of the others. It's getting to be the same in city/town centres too, all the shops are the same, no matter where you are. What's happened to city centres with...

Havent been to the grand arcade yet, but hate shopping centres, bet they wont get a craft shop in there. I did know about lakeland, its a shame, I used to go there at lunchtime if I had a bad day in the office (which is quite often) so it will probably save me money. Dont like the new John Lewis either.

Hope you find some crafty shops in Whitby to make up for it.

Went to view our new 'Grand Arcade' this morning. A new shopping mall in the city centre which has taken 2.5 years to construct.
I think its just a ploy to keep John Lewis in the city centre. Anyway, it looks like an army barrack - no character and the same old shops are going in there. So disappointing.

Then went to LAKELAND who have been closed for 2 weeks for refurbishment and they NO LONGER HAVE A CRAFT SECTION!
Was told...
