Cramped queuing area, and little privacy from those behind in the queue. 2. Nowhere to sit while you're in the queue - unless you want to lose your place. 3. Not clear where to queue as there are two aisles leading to the counter which doubles up as a dispensary and sales counter. 4. You can put in a prescription (via the box in the medical centre) a full two weeks in advance of when it is needed, and then find it is not ready, or incomplete, when you call to pick it up. Overall impression is of cramped premises, with staff who are seriously overworked.

This branch of Boots can be found at the bottom of the High street. Sadly for those who love…read moreshopping in Boots this is only a small branch. It does however have a small selection of cosmetics including No7, a few The Sanctuary items and the usual smellies and toiletries. If you're after anything specific though its best kept in mind that they may not stock that particular item. However, if you are just after basic items its an ideal shop to quickly pop in. They also deal with prescriptions and have a wide range of medicines both behind the counter and the usual paracetomals, lemsips etc on the shelves.

There is usually one you can try on the counter which is nice. It stocks a wide range of non prescription drugs. I find superdrug the cheapest place for things such as paracetomal, plasters etc. There is usually an offer on shower gel/bubble bath and deoderants/body sprays so if you're not fussy about what brand you use you can pick up a good bargain. The staff are polite and helpful. My only disappointment with this store is that it is too small and can be hard to get round the aisles if busy.

Because I wasn't familiar with the brands, I got the assistance of a young lady who worked in the Medicine Dept. She asked thorough questions to make sure she recommended the right one. Although I went for the Pharmacy this store was quite large. There were cards, snacks, sandwiches and drinks. There also was a large assortment of beauty, hygiene and toiletry products. Probably even more departments in the back that I didn't see.

She just turned around to her colleague and pretended that she was speaking about someone else in front of me to her colleague. I am a person from a minority ethnic background and I just know the motive was pure racism. I didn't bother saying anything more because did not want to cause any DRAMA.

Friendly staff, nice bright shop. Boots offer an excellent range of baby products, and a trip in here is often in order if we're out with the babies and have forgotten something we may need- food, wipes, nappies, it's all there. It's also a chemist, and like all chemists leaves you waiting for quite a while before you get your items. At least this way, you can get some shopping whilst you're waiting.
