Granted, it was extremely close to store closing time - but unfortunately the bodily functions of eight month olds do not align to timetabling notions like "David" must apply to the staff under his care. Simply put he kicked us out with a soiled baby and a smile on his face. Look, I understand that people are just doing their jobs and that closing time is a difficult time. But this level of callous disregard for the needs of a vulnerable human being (a baby) is just appalling. On a different note, there were three ladies there, also being kicked out. We all were people of colour. Make of that what you will.

This is a good Marks and Spencer store, it is located on Church Street in a good spot within…read moreLiverpool city centre. The selection in-store is pretty good, in terms of the Food Hall, I was especially impressed with the ease of access (Ground Floor - compared to many other M and S stores, which have you go into the basement) and the frozen section (much more extensive than any other Marks and Spencer stores I have visited, even including Birds Eye Potato Waffles). The overall store is good, I would like to see it refurbished to be similar to some of their newly refurbished stores however which not only look better but feature more features including the ability to select your own eggs, grind your own coffee beans etc. The store also has the Marks and Spencer's app, where you can scan items and pay on your phone, generating an in-app receipt to show as you leave the store. A couple of items that I wanted were out of stock, which was a little frustrating, the selection was fine overall for non-frozen items. I would have loved to see a chicken rotisserie which they have at other stores of a similar size, sadly not here. 4*

A pretty nice Debenhams store in Liverpool city centre, one of the larger department stores in…read moreLiverpool One. While I do prefer John Lewis, this isn't a bad alternative and does provide extra choice. The selection is OK, I did notice a lack of named brands compared to other stores nearby so the selection is slightly limited. Multiple lifts around the store, so it is easy to get around, the organisation is OK, but the Cafe area seems a little messy. Most of the staff seem friendly enough. 3* - Not my favourite Debenhams store, it could be cleaner in certain areas especially the toilets, but if this store does close down I'm sure it will be missed.

They have a great restaurant on the top floor which serves really good quality food and is one of mother dearest's favourite eateries in the city centre. They also serve great wine here which makes it ok by me. They have a great cosmetic section where oompa loompa like sales women will urge you to buy the latest skin care cream and smellies and tell you the secrets of rubbing pile cream under your eyes! They also have a wide range of clothing brands all across their store including Levi's.

They might fall short of selling food but they do have a basic cafe/restaurant where you can have a hearty lunch for cheap prices. Its the nature of their departments that makes them so popular with people of all ages. I can't think of anything they don't sell, especially when it comes to domestic requirements. Their crockery ranges from low to high standards similarly with their electronic appliances so whatever you are seeking, there should be an item that wins you over 9 out of 10 times. Not to mention, the same goes with shoes; the place is packed with them! And clothes too, the list is endless. If you're looking to treat yourself or find a gift, then TJ's is probably your first port of call.

To me this is the archetypal nan shop.

These bargains usually end up as my birthday or christmas presents. Like the much lamented Lewis' which has closed down on Renshaw Street, TJ's is a landmark store within the city. It is a much more modest department store than Lewis' was and can be seen as more of a front runner to the now universal pound shops. The key to TJ's is the bargains. It covers all sorts of quality products and ranges - although nothing exclusive or top of the range - and at the cheapest possible prices.

As you can see from my pictures the low price doesn't mean a scrimp on quality, and you can find everything from beds to sofas, chests of drawers to mirrors and a great deal more, including some very snazzy wall prints. I'm a huge fan of this shop, and it's ever so handy for any students or young urban things moving fresh into the area. The staff are really friendly and there's even a fridge where you can buy cold drinks if trudging around the store has taken it out of you. Brilliant stuff!

It is a brilliant place to buy the perfect piece of equipment, especially if you are creative minded in the kitchen. Kitchenware is what they specialise in but they do also sell items related to garden and laundry; ideal for the keen gardener and housemaid! If any drawback, prices are relatively expensive yet you are paying for good quality and durable products that will probably last you for years. Everything about Lakeland is fancily displayed which makes it so eye-catching. The shop layout also makes it easy to find what you're looking for plus there is always staff available to provide assistance.

This shop sells almost everything for the home apart from the kitchen sink! Not only that, it sells snack food, sweets, cosmetics, garden equipment and many other useful items. I usually tend to come here if I'm in urgent need of something; if I'm preparing for a holiday for instance, then hand sanitiser, wet wipes, toiletries for example would be on my list of essentials. Wilkinson would probably be my first choice because I know I will leave with quality products that come at affordable prices. Typically, you could spend a good half an hour or so browsing their shelves as their variety is wide. You'll often come across items that you don't really need and end up buying them, so don't get too carried away (you have been warned)! Sometimes its difficult to find what you are looking for but staff will kindly assist you - no worries there. This is normally a busy shop and staff are used to customers enquiries. Wilkinson is a good all round store and there's always a decent chance you'll find what you're seeking.

Located in the Liverpool One on Church Street with entrances on Church Street and off Peter's Lane,…read morethis branch of Next is a large store in Liverpool city centre. The store does stand out at the Church Street entrance through the modern sign but as you go into the store, this is another one of those stores (which has happened quite a lot in Liverpool), which feels less modern. This store really differs a lot from Next in Manchester, which has multiple other retailers inside and has more open space and is recently refurbished and includes a restauraunt and Costa coffee, however despite still having a Costa this store is basically the opposite, it feels less cramped without the open space factor I like, the store also felt slightly dirty with stuff on the floor. I also found the lifts in the store hard to find with a lack of signposting needed for a store of its size. The selection was okay but not too impressive. This store doesn't stand out as it should, not only lacking to rivals but other Next stores too with cleanliness and store layout needing huge improvement and many other parts of the store needing minor improvement, to the point I feel Next Liverpool deserves just a two-star rating.
