I'm guessing the first one is plain stupid (well stupid is as stupid does) so I got y sorry looking butt down to Red Brick Mill. What a pleasant find it is too. They pride themselves on some of the North's leading contemporary designers and their furniture is sheer class. They are home to 35 cutting-edge designers and there is enough inspiration to keep even my motor mouth quiet for an hour or so. If you want to jazz up your lounge, no problem. Slick and chic sofas sit along side funky tables. You'll even find plush flooring, cookware and gifts. It's quite pricey but sometimes money does buy taste and it shows here. Add to that four cafes to refresh those flagging shopping legs and it's worth a punt. A definite reason to venture into Batley and spruce up the house in your life.

A pretty bog standard Ikea just off the motorway by Leeds - a place to spend time where minutes…read morebecomes hours and hours become days - you never get out as quickly as you think you will! But I really like what Ikea does and I love their design ethic in terms of value to high end, most stuff is usually pretty cool and as long as you don't do an Edward Norton in Fight Club and you have the whole apartment decked out page to page then it's all good. I've gotta say though that I find the food in the cafe becoming a bit too Anglicised/Americanised with less Swedish influence than it used to have. I had to really search for the gravlax and the daim bar cake seems to be getting poorer in quality. Saying that it's not biggie but I hope they do stick to their food values and always sell their Swedish wares!

I honestly like Ikea and I particularly like the restaurant and I love meatballs (but enough of…read morethat). There is no doubt that Ikea has some very appealing items and, generally speaking, the prices are OK but I so hate the layout and the way I am herded along the pre-determined route to make sure I see absolutely everything. The one thing I hated even more than the layout today was the checkout. I only had one item but, because I was paying cash, I had to queue for a 'manned' till behind about 7 people who had obviously chosen today to refurnish their entire house with Ikea goods. I could only gaze longingly at the express checkouts which are all card only

Before we…read morecould be served we were told by one of them, in the earshot of the other,that we had to get a table first or otherwise we might not be able to sit down. This just encourages people to queue jump and there were no pre warning notices. It was agreed that I sit down only for the other to say the same thing, equally as abrupt and surly. The stroganoff was advertised as just that. It was not said what it came with. I rather liked the roast potatoes and veg rather than rice. Rice was plonked on the plate without asking and pots were only added grudgingly. The place was full. They did not seem to care. Complacent would be a good way to describe them. The food was good. The customer service is very poor indeed.

This is a large garden centre on a main road between wakefield and pontefract. It sells plants,…read morefish, lots of pet supplies, nice toiletry and food gifts, some toys, and has a large cafe. The best time to visit is at Christmas, as their christmas displays are great, with polar bear scenes, a lovely area with lit-up houses, etc. It's great for young and old to see. When I went recently, they also had a couple of small tables with simple toys on for the children to play with, which I thought was an excellent touch. The cafe is nice enough for a garden centre, although it gets busy and the queues can get very long.

It sells plants, outdoor furniture, craft supplies, pet supplies and has a reasonable sized outdoor sales area too. I don't often buy much but my son loves running around the aisles outside and hiding from me. There is also a cafe, whcih we nearly always go to. It's nothing special, but it's ok. The garden centre really comes into its own around Christmas time. The decorations and displays are fab, really magical, and the santa's grotto area is always a snowy, magical display. Worth visiting definitely!

Have bought big plants here in the past but the most recent visits have been for tropical fish. They have a good variety on offer and split them up well based on the type of tanks you can have. It will never be a quick visit here as you will always get distracted by the vast array of things on offer. Worth a visit just to see what you end up with :)

Tong Lane, Bradford…read more BD4 0RY 0113 2853506 opens; mon - sat 9am- 6pm This is a very large garden centre which is on a main road so is easy to find and access - if you dont have a car there is a bus runs from bradford interchange that drops off right outside. You can buy absolutely everything here from garden plants, bushes, sheds, benches to pond supplies. You can buy paving, bbqs and other outdoor living/designing supplies. They also have a good aquatics centre and pet supplies, plus a good selection of pets to own. The best part of pet centre is 'elvis' the parrot - he is lovely. The cafe is huge with a very good choice but it is a bit on the dear price, still you have to treat yourself sometimes and the food is lovely and well worth it. The centre is always well stocked and the staff are very nice and polite.

No landlords restricting painting, and enough space to put things that look nice and comfortable. This place on the outside just reads 'The Furniture Centre'. However, on their website they call themselves 'DFS - The Furniture Centre'. I am guessing this is so that they show up on search engines when people search for DFS Furniture, fair play to them. But they are not *the* DFS, so don't be confused between the two. Despite this they still offer a really good range of furniture, at a much cheaper price than the original DFS. Coffe tables, console tables, occasional tables, TV and media Units, storage units and book cases, tub chairs and arm chairs, dining room furniture, kitchen and bar furniture, mirrors, bedroom furniture, sofas and sofa beds can all be seen in their 4 showrooms. They also offer free delivery on purchases of over £1000.
