Just a quick post to let you know what I found in Birchwood on Monday. I appreciate it may have all gone by now, this is the first chance I've had to post... :blush: 
Stacks of Emu's, the ones that are more like a traditional boot with the structured sole IYKWIM
Stacks of Northern Nights as per
Lots of Tiffany lamps, more than usual I think, including some worrying novelty animals
Tons of Orecks as per, also some Miele vacuums
A few Jack the Lad juicers (the newer ones which do small stone fruit I think, only worked this out after I left and am now gutted I didn't whip in for one :headbang
Some of those cookie jars shaped like handbags
One Clarisonic which I managed to resist
Some of that 'collectible' crockery from the sunken ships that no-one has ever heard of and that haven't been on QVC for ages (Tek Sing, Hoi an Hoard?)
No KitchenAids (boo hiss :angry
No Lola Rose (see above)
A brand of mouthwash by the name of California Breath :tongue:
Lots of South Sea pearls - some long Tahitian necklaces, rings and one bracelet, and some golden and white South Sea earrings, to be honest all poor quality IMO which is a shame as that's one thing I was after
A Charlie Bear with a hole in! Also a couple of Steiff bears, seals and an elephant
The odd bit of Kipling, one Barr and Barr luminous orange handbag that gave me a headache
The usual viscose/poly-fest on the clothing racks, but also a few plain black eminently wearable Centipede winter coats for £7
The highlight of the trip was definitely two conversations I overheard between a couple of the members of staff, who discussed in order, without pause for breath:
a) the Butler and Wilson union jack belt they had in stock, which in their view no-one in their right mind would ever wear (cue mickey-take tryings on behind the counter)
b) the bladder problem of another thankfully absent member of staff. I did wonder about suggesting the pelvic floor exerciser but chose instead to make a sharp exit
HTH :handshake:
