    Now this really is a local shop for local people. All the staff know the customers by name and they…read moreknow all their ailments which is not a great combination. A simple question like, "Awww Terry how is that ingrown toenail of yours?" quickly turns into a 45 minute conversation about the importance of nail clipping. All I went in for was some hair wax, but due to the nature of conversation I made a swift exit. At least the staff are courteous and seem to have time for all the customers. You will not find this in a the big chain chemists and pharmacies. I suppose it is the element of care that makes it what it is. It is a good little pharmacy stocking everything you need, I even once bought a last minute Christmas present from here. I think the recipient liked her luminous hair bobbles, who wouldn't? They were cheap too which was a bonus when the Christmas cash was tight. If you are ever in need of entertainment I would recommend getting in line for a prescription but if you ever need deodorant I would advise you to make the 20 minute journey to Boots.

    Oh man. This place was deader than a doornail when I nipped in. And yes, it was dreary, damp and…read moregrey (the weather outside I mean), but the shop itself had: - a severe lack of customers. In fact, I was the only one, and all I was after were some facial wipes. - a strangely quiet atmosphere...music anyone? - not an awful lot- it's quite small. I reluctantly chose a different brand of facial wipe to what I usually buy, as there really wasn't much of a selection, took it to the counter, was met with a sort of smile, paid for the wipes and went on my way. No unlucky conversations on this particular day, but I figured that the weather must have had an adverse effect on the staff for the lady who served me was a tad gloomy. And that was that. Nothing exceptional, but nothing atrocious. Liked the lovely fluorescent orange labels on everything though. They sure made certain I knew those facial wipes were £1.99.

    Boots is a large shop situated in Portland Walk - the main shopping area of Barrow. They have the…read moreusual chemist counter and photo-processing area, and a large shop floor given over to toiletries, make-up, gifts, perfume, electrical items such as hair straighteners etc. It is every girl's paradise! They are not one of the larger Boots stores (despite being big by Barrow's standards) so they don't carry all the ranges of makeup e.g. Urban Decay, but they do have a good selection of all the usual high-street brands, Max Factor, Maybelline, Bourjois etc. They also carry the Soap and Glory bath and body range, which is gorgeous! They have a dedicated No. 7 counter, staffed by lovely ladies - there are 2 specific ones I can think of who are always so friendly and helpful, they have a laugh and a joke with you when you go to pay, and are very knowledgeable about the products on offer. They make shopping there a pleasure! Boots also does regular promotions and events, and their Advantage reward card is one of the best around - well worth getting one, you collect points on everything you buy and it adds up to enough for a lovely treat at the end of the year! Their 3 for the price of 2 gift sets make great Christmas pressies too. Boots also do lovely lunches - their £2.99 meal deal is great value comprising any sandwich/wrap/pasta/salad, any drink and any snack (chocolate/crisps/cereal bars or fruit if you're feeling healthy) Definitely one of the best shops in Barrow!
