i really love mark one clothes. they are always up to date with the latest fashion but, unlike some…read morestores, they are wearable and affordable. a good range of shoes and their jewellry is cute but not exactly what you would call well mdae. If you keep an eye on their prices you will find that everything gets reduced when it has been available for about a month, so don't buy immediately - what you fancy will be reduced. T shirts good value at £2-3. The staff at thre till aren't very interested in you though and if you dare ask if something is available in a different size.. Always wirth a look for the discounted bargains though.

They also claimed that they had no CCTV which was obviously bullshit. They were extremely rude and did not seem to care about the situation at all. They also said that 5 other phones had been stolen on the same day which was even more suspicious on them .If you are reading this make sure to have a tight grip on your things just as I will next time I go if ever.

There is plenty of store space so the items are nicely laid out and it is easy to browse, even when the shop is fairly busy. The queues at the tills can be really long at the weekends, which is frustrating so they could do with having more than 2-3 people on the tills at one time.

I was able to pick up a jumper ('sweater' in American) and browse through some of the other menswear. Some fashionable, some quite picked over. There are also the usual other departments you would expect in a department store - shoes, women's clothing, boys and girls, gifts and housewares. Paying for your purchase is always a bit of a challenge, especially in a country that doesn't really have a service industry. A few tills ('registers'), but always a queue ('line'). There are a few good bargains here and there, but a lot of it is crap. It's all up to you and your fashion sense.

A few years ago you wouldn't have seen me dead in this place. However, I have to grudgingly admit…read morethat the range of clothing and household goods are staggering and the prices even more so. Be prepared to battle with every chav that Reading possesses as you wade through all the clothing chucked on the floor. And be prepared to queue for a very long time at the check-out. All said and done though, you will get some serious bargains here.

The racks are tightly packed in but the staff are friendly enough. I wouldn't want to have to actually try on clothes or find a new outfit - it's the place to buy stuff without having to queue for 30 minutes like at other shops. The clothes are well organised, sizes are in order, most of the range is available and despite it being uber-small it is also super convenient.

If there are a few customers in the shop it can be hard to get to where you want, as the rails are quite close together.
