I swear, there was stuff there which sat gathering dust for twenty years! They never changed stock, prices went up, that was all that did change. They were convinced someone would come in one day and pay the silly price they were asking. I don't know if they're still around, wouldn't surprise me if they've closed down with that attitude.<br /><br />Anyway, love your little blue jacket and the red and white pussybow blouse. <br /><br />And not long till Wales!
