Oldrids has been in Boston FOREVER. I can remember going to the cafe upstairs with my mum when I…read morewas little and having a ham roll and a glass of milk before spending my birthday money in the AMAZING toy department. Nowadays I'm not so much for the toys, more for the kitchen bit downstairs, which is excellent, and the perfume department. I went in a couple of weeks ago and had a look at some fancy shoes but the two women at the till there looked at me as though I was a bag lady and needed ejecting. I felt very, very uncomfortable. I think it was because I was wearing linen trousers and flip flops and my hair was a bit messy, but whatever it was, it was like that bit in Pretty Woman where the shoplady is mean to the prozzie. Anyway, Oldrids is a well stocked, well laid out department store, which on the whole is deserving of a visit if you're on a shopping trip and need some knickers or tights or makeup or perfume or a griddlepan, and don't mind paying a bit more for it, or if you just want a cup of coffee in a place where you can peek out over the main pedestrian bit and laugh at the chavs, but beware the grumpy staff is all I'll say. Just to clarify, I'm not a prostitute.

This T K Maxx proper won me over when I came back to Boston, because I managed to bag myself a…read morelovely pair of Lee Cooper jeans for £15, and the fanciest of frocks for our works Christmas party (all sateen and taffeta and sequins) for £25 (RRP £99.99!), PLUS a dead nice top which was a little bit broken so after a wink and a smile I managed to get a further £3 off. BARGAIN! I know that T K Maxx isn't somewhere you can nip for your lunch break though. You have to have a good hour at your disposal to hunt through the rails, try on all the stuff and then queue up and pay. But I had a week off and wasn't in a rush so it was heaven here. I got confused though because when I came to school in Boston there was an Asda here instead.

Love this shop as its one of the few if only shops that sell Spongebob and Me To You Bear items…read more They have reasonable amount of clothing also, the sales are really good when they have them, prices in general can be a little overpriced but quality is good. Staff friendly and polite, only bad thing is pushing you to have a store card, which the staff have to do anyway so its not technically their fault.
New Look in Lincoln is the best one i have been in. This is because the shop is divided into…read moredifferent sections and it is easy to find what you want. The staff are friendly, take care when handling products to purchase and take questions and queries on bored. I find it very good how when you walk out of the changing rooms, a staff sees you and comes to give advice whether if a different size, colour or other things such as accessories will look better and make the person more 'trendy'. When purchasing an item, the staff at the till will talk to you and ask if you will be 'doing anything nice' due to the things which is about to be bought. New Look is practically more wardrobe and everything ticks my expectations and nothing i can think off is an issue. The best shop ever and not too pricey prices. Although, no one wants to pay more then they can.
Fabulous boutique specialising in "Antique, Boutique and Vintage"…read more The shop emits a luxurious feel with it's well displayed wares in the smallish space. There is none of the clutter to lessen the shopping experience that you get in so many of the London vintage shops, giving the impression that each item has been hand picked for this store, rather than being a jumble sale that you have to wade through in hope of stumbling across a gem. I loved the women's bags and accessories, and happily left with some scarves for my collection. I expect that I will be back before my short stay in Lincoln is over. Definitely worth a visit!

I was drawn in by the accessories in the window. They had some cute stuff, nothing in my size and the accessories, while lovely, were not necessities on this particular trip. The clothing selection is a bit limited because there is no clutter and the racks aren't overflowing with clothing, but that's kind of what I like about it.

I speak American... that is probably why no one understood me when I kept asking around for a yarn…read moreshop. When someone finally figured out I wanted knitting wool (even though I crochet, not knit... important difference), this was the place that was recommended to me. It is a cute little shop, but it is small, a little difficult to maneuver if there are lots of people and/or you have lots of bags from shopping. They do have some items for those of us that crochet (hooks and such), but again it seems as though it is more focused on the knitters. In fact, the ladies in the shop seem to look at me strange when I mention crochet, it could very well be my American accent, but since I have been in a number of times, I think it is the crochet bit that trips them up. They have a nice selection of yarns, although, it seems to be the same stuff all the time. It would be nice to see some featured yarns. One of the ladies has mentioned to me that if they are out of something that I need, i.e. more of a yarn to finish something, they can order it, if it is still available. So that is always helpful. They also have some fabric and ribbons, which is nice. It is a bit pricey, compared to the lady who used to come to market on Saturday with lots of selection for fairly cheap. The ladies are usually very helpful and at least one of them is very friendly and quick to suggest an item.
I wouldn't recommend going into this store unless you have a bit of time on your hands. Sometimes…read moreit feels a bit like an upmarket jumble sale - items everywhere, not always in any kind of logical order! That said, if you do have the time to browse, you can pick up some real gems - anything from 'designer' clothes at a bargain basement price to cheap trainers to kitchenware, gym gear, luggage and beauty accessories. You have to wade through rubbish to get to the gems - but one man's (or woman's) junk is another man's treasures! I've got some real bargains at this store before so if you're not in a rush and don't have clear ideas in your head of what you're after, I would persevere because the stock is regularly updated and you might just find something fabulous! But if you go in there with a really set idea of what you want you could leave disappointed.
Even though it is a bit inconvenient for me to get to when in a rush... I usually pop in here,…read moremostly because I have the Boots Card and I would never miss the chance to rack up those points. The staff are usually very friendly... in fact there is one pharmacist that is really lovely and is always very helpful. I did take a star off because there is one pharmacist, I have personal experience and witnessed this with another customer, who does not make proper use of the consultation rooms that are provided when privacy should be considered. Other than that, the store is always clean and free of clutter in the aisles and I can usually get assistance fairly quickly.
Generally Boots is a chain with a great reputation and experience that you can trust…read more Unfortunately the Grantham branch does not seem to employ too many trained people on its pharmaceutical counter (I'm not talking about the bit manned by actual pharmacists where people get their prescriptions but the section next to it where you can buy over-the-counter medicines). Therefore any questions you ask about medications eg cold and flu tablets are met with a blank stare and a shrug. The level of expertise at the pharmaceutical counter in this store is not to the level I have come to expect of Boots in general. This shop would benefit from giving its frontline staff on this particular counter better training as many people using this service have genuine concerns and require proper advice.
