However after paying, one of us checked the receipt and the full Visa card number and expiry date were printed on the receipt! This seemed sketchy as every other receipt always had the first numbers starred out. In calling the bank they agreed this was fishy and cancelled the card as a precaution. Just something to watch out for when shopping!

In fact, it makes me think of the United Colours (I know it's spelt the other way but I can't bring myself to knowingly spell it incorrectly) of Benetton ads that were profuse and popular in the 90s - posters of a blood smeared newborn, political and religious figures kissing, a brown/black/African American breast, feeding a white baby. Oh how controversial! However this shop is an absolute treasure trove that encapasses all the that that we love about diversity.

Suddenly the prospect of going back to school has been transformed into one of utter joy. Showing off my new Willy Wonka pencil case to my mates! Not that Anita sells WW pencil cases, but she does sell goodies that are far more exciting yet equally thrilling!
