I always go into any shop with the assumption that anybody selling in said store is dirty lying bastard, that way I don't feel the need to be polite when discussing price. But I only really ever buy electricals from either John Lewis or Booth's in Inverurie. Because I can get a small discount but I know I'm paying a bit more than the cheaper shops but the service is fantastic, Plus if it goes wrong I've got a local store to go in and shout at some one lol.
As for cloths I'm to tall and fat to buy in normal shops so I don't have much experience lol, I remember that the Next sale used to be good for childrens cloths if you didn't mind being out of date!

Just out of interest where do you go for clothes? Everyone round here seems to think people with my waist are also 6foot 5 and even the short leg ones have to be turned up.
Also looks like our electricals will be bought from John Lewis as they're not exactly more expensive too
