They often do multi-buy deals on wardrobe basics, and the clothes are durable and hardwearing.

I came to Blue Banana a few weeks ago and had a great experience and the piercing was very well…read morepriced. Unfortunately this time round was different. The price for the piercing was fine, however I was not told how expensive the earrings were until the moment I was paying for everything. When I was first looking through the earrings which were offered to me, you would hope that the people working in the shop would let you know if you were about to buy earrings which are nearly £100! These earrings were in the set they give you to choose from but there was no price indication on there. If I'd had known they were that expensive I'd have never gotten them. By the time I knew the prices I'd signed all the formed and felt obligated to continue with the process. Unfortunately due to this I won't be returning.

I've had 7 piercing previous to this (all in the Netherlands) and non of those hurt or involved scorching metal tweezers of doom. I bled everywhere. My ears were crying blood and I was crying on the inside - I left the shop looking like I'd been in some bizarre accident, blood all over my new top... Also, the shop smelt like cigarettes and must. I seriously would advise against getting pierced here, and if you buy clothes here, you may need to wash them to get rid of the smell... An experience to be sure, just not sure it was a good one.

Its better for gifts, they have a large jewellery counter on the ground floor and also lots of perfumes. I love the household department downstairs you buy ornaments, rugs through to kitchen implements and gadgets that are well slashed in price and would ususally only be found in lakeland plastics. Theres a kid section with some gifts and stuff for babies too. I think the new store is better than the one in Broadmarsh especially for location.
