Thought I'd put my prejudices aside and have a look in Whie Stuff on Saturday.


Oh dear. The men's section looked a bit like Debenham's circa 1995. An assortment of dull stripy tops in shades of grey and brown. There was one decent bag in there - a dark brown satchel-type affair. But it was ?85! So I won't be wasting my time going in there again.


So what is the consensus on the women's stuff? It looks a bit better to me...

If you were to purchase a wardrobe in there then you would look pretty poor but I find the, how shall I put it, softness of the colours a good base to match with other clothes. I think they are fine... (and until any competition at all exists for male clothing in the area, summat is better than nowt)
James, if you are at the next drinks, i better not stand by you, you little trend-setter. I popped into WS a few weeks ago and thought that i could easily buy quite a lot of their stuff ("debenhams circa 95" or otherwise) IF I could afford it. That'll be another trip to the Mind shop for me, then.

Got to disagree, sorry. I quite like their stuff. It's not high fashion, nor does it proclaim to be. It does go for the preppy-surfer-shabby-chic thing which, I grant you is not everyones cuppa, but I'm pretty pleased with my one purchase.


It is a little over-priced but not compared to its direct competitors such as Jack Wills.


The staff were helpful and the shop front is quite attractive. I might go back for the odd thing now and again but I wouldn't advise anyone to have a whole wardrobe from one place including White Stuff.


Edit: I agree about Banana Republic though...great place (and hats).

I am with Mr Carnell on this one. I didnt think I would ever buy anything in there, as polo shirts and rugger tops are just not my thing. However, when I popped in to have a look inside I found a decent looking shirt and thought what the hell, I will try it on. Its got to be one of the best made shirts I have bought for some time, fits like a dream. I was certainly with you when they arrived James, and still wouldnt wear 90% of the stuff in there, but I love my shirt..

Not been in WS yet, do they do decent shirts? I have my wedding suit, and shoes sorted, but need a nice shirt, and all the ones I keep seeing are jsut sh!te that you expect to see city bankers or chav estate agents wearing...


If not WS, any suggestions on where to get nice (not not tooooo expensive) shirts?


I don't have one, but I see no harm in "man bags"... I personally prefer a record bag though, it tends to do pretty much the same job (less the umbrella) ;-)

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
