Pavers Outlet is rather extraordinary - I got some desiner trainers for £14, but casual slingbacks cost me £34. Mind you most of the footwear is Italian, even in the Outlet. In the other half of the store, are brands which are far more expensive. My friend and I examined an exquiste stiletto in a neutal colour with embroiderie, around £120. 'Great for a wedding!' I decided. 'Or just round the house' said my friend. 'Yes, with nothing else on' I concurred. Really besides real elagance like that, you get The Really Useful Shoe, The Flatty, Trouser Shoes, and all points in between those. Some of their mules are great, flattering and summery. There is every type of shoe Under The Sun. Oh, but the boots! Now, I do have a boot fetish and I get most of my boots here. Usually I wait for the sale and get two pairs maybe. The staff are good fun, enjoy my visits with a certain friend, and are helpful to boot!!! Oh, the good ones are the best!

A large selection of clearance itemThe UK version of Marshalls/TJ Maxx brand owned by TJK…read moreCompanies, this instance of TK Maxx had a large selection of clothes and accessories for men, women, and children. The location consists of multiple stories, with each section having a dedicated clearance section. All prices are clearly marked, and include taxes (which somewhat compensated for the prices being in pounds). My wife got a good deal for a blouse (5 quid), that she wore multiple times on our cruise. Going on a multi-day cruise with just carry-on luggage (allowing us to be nimble as we explore), means only light weight clothing that is easy to handwash/air dry. TK Maxx (just like its sibling Marshalls/TJMaxx in the States) is great place to pick up heavily discounted clothes that fit that bill. It's also fun to see what fashion and brands a foreign country is selling...in this case, it was similar to what we are able to find in the States (along with similar prices). It was a self checkout and we had no issues using our US bank issued card. Learning: TJK changed the name to TK Maxx to avoid confusion with a British retailed called T.J. Hughes.

I'm a fan. And this café in Southampton really disappointed me. They've junked the proper…read moregrind/expresso making machines in place of snazzy push - button contraptions that do not give the taste of an equivalent cup of coffee made under real pressure. Shameful. How on Earth could M&S senior management allow this short term foolishness, likely just to save a few quid. We noted they were selling fish & chips with peas and a lemon wedge at £9. We decided to try but it soon became clear that was our mistake. They weren't that tasty. The food seemed air fryer cooked, dry, near tasteless and not a good eat really, so real fish & chip shops have no fear of this competition. This is food passable for old folks homes. We didn't have to wait long for the food but here again the server had no tartare sauce to offer (apparently a supply issue) but it was readily available in store just a mere few feet away. £18 for rubbish food. The tomato ketchup, vinegar pouches and salt were seemingly rationed. I asked for some more and some more was handed over, piecemeal. I gave up. Is it a lack of training? Who knows. Then I tried to open the sauce pouches and ended up asking a staff bloke to do it. He struggled but succeeded. I am really annoyed as this is not acceptable.
