I had a girlfriend who was on the 'next' tip


She dragged me round that shop soooo many times


Good training for learning to say "Nope, I an't doing that" no more


She set me up for life


Tho I still shudder when I see the place/catalogue

I may be wrong but I *think* you had to actually pay for the catalogue?

Next was definitely quite classy when it first opened, SJ, kind of Hobbs and Jigsaw end of the market. I remember when the Knightsbridge branch opened. Great excitement. Never worked for me sadly as in those days they made for taller women.

Any more heat and they'll combust. I stick the pan on the gas flame for a while before throwing in the batter, just to make sure that oil is smokin'.


But it's the fact that IN THE SAME BATCH some will rise and some won't that truly annoys me. I need Heston Blumen-wotsit on the case. There's some science here I'm missing.

      Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.

      How very dare you. Rest assured, if it were intended to be comedy, it would have been funny.

      I hadn't looked at the actual posts on Instagram. That's sad, then. The shop opening hours are still shown at the top of the page. I  guess changing them wasn't uppermost in her mind under the circumstances.

      Review for kitchen fitter - Top Marx

      By alshaw40 · Posted

      I want to recommend the kitchen fitters Top Marx kitchens. They were excellent from the communication, the planning and the fitting. John did a fantastic job of of fitting and worked around and solved many of the issues we had with Ikea who we purchased from. John gave lots of helpful advice and support. We would definitely use them again for any kitchen work. I have added before and after photos.
