McCalls is spread over a couple of floors in the town centre. It's a menswear shop, (though it has…read moreanother shop across the road specialising in school uniforms which I think caters for both boys and girls). The variety of clothes ranges from casual to formal and everything is generally modern and up to date. There are other places that would be a bit cheaper than here. They also have, in my opinion anyway, the best selection of suits in the area, as well as shirts and ties. The staff are friendly, helpful and patient when you're mulling over which suite to buy!

Despite its interesting name, Sub Station is in no way linked to that infamous sandwich chain store…read more(you know the one I mean), an electrical sub-station, or indeed an underground metro station. Nope, it's actually a clothes shop. Curious. Specialising in brands such as Converse, Henleys, Jack Jones and the like, Sub Station is very much like Gino, The Jean Scene and D2 in terms of its clothing. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing..it's just not my kind of thing. When my sister and I popped in, we were greeted by a very friendly sales dude (in fact, I've a funny feeling he might have been the manager / owner), who asked if we were ok and if we needed any different sizes to give him a holler. That certainly went down well...good customer service = tick. All the clothing was in the sale, so it was pretty well-reduced. Floral dresses, long tees, jeans, hoodies and fancy tops were all up for grabs, but there wasn't really anything I would have worn (I am a fussy dresser though, it has to be said). Some of the clothes were lovely, and my sister had her eye on a few garments, so really it's just my downright stubbornness when it comes to clothes. Sub Station also stocks a few shoes, including babies Converse (oh so cute!), as well as adults, and these were in the sale too. Once again, I'm not a Converse wearer (I did try a pair on once, but the shape of the shoe just looked plain wierd...told you I was fussy), but they do appeal to a great many people, so I'm just throwing that little fact out there... I was going to go with three stars, but the delightful welcome from Mr Friendly sales guy just pushed it up a wee notch. Four it is.

Gosh, well there's really not as much fabric going on in this shop as I would have liked. It's a…read morepretty small shop, with a small selection of men's clothing, and an even smaller selection of women's clothing. Not too promising, to say the least. I've actually been in this shop twice before - the first time was an inadvertent visit, as I was looking for a shoe shop that was supposedly meant to be in the mall, and which I couldn't find. The sales assistant wasn't able to help me at all, which was due to the fact that the shoe shop didn't exist at that moment in time, and wasn't due to his incompetencies as a direction-giver. The second time was for genuine nosey, and the same sales assistant was in charge that day too. I definitely had a strange case of deja vu this time, and felt like I almost had to enquire about something just to truly fulfil my role. I didn't (thankfully), and managed to have a quick look around at the pretty dresses and tops. My sister spotted one, and deciding to check the price, discovered that it was something slightly crazy like £30. For the type of dress it was, I thought £30 was asking a bit much, but then that could just be me... The visit was a short one, mainly because there really wasn't an awful lot to look at. You could always go in and ask for directions though...
