It's not all tat, some of it is okay stuff. I've bought candles in there for £1.50 and then seen exactly the same for £10 in the Chatsworth House gift shop. A lot of the shops look like they could do with a good clean and the staff aren't always too bright but that doesn't bother me if I'm getting a bargain.

I shop at the Range for the odd item here in Carlisle.....
But what's more important is how the **** you have managed to retire at 56.......I'm 54 and have to work for another 12 years at least to get my full pension and put a few quid aside

The problem is nearly everyone in the UK including most on this forum want everything for nothing. Consequently shops full of cheap poor quality Chinese tat is what you are going to get.

Or maybe it's because actually they can only afford to buy cheap poor quality Chinese tat. It's nice to have the choice, if you have the income to match.

We don't have The Range within our range. We have Diskos type shop and B&M in the town, and they are full of tack. Some stuff is alright, but the quality in general isn't so good. No wonder these shops are cheapies. I do pop in at that Diskos type to get Yorkshire tea bags on cheap sometimes when I'm passing. Still due to convert myself as an Assam Tea drinker one day. I also got a lamp and a little rug for my office from that cheapie a couple of months back. Lamp is cool for 7 quid, but the rug does look tacky for 3.99. I must get the previous one cleaned. I got twig fairy lights for 7 quid from B&M, and they are diabolical. The look of them makes me feel like snapping them, they're that fekking obnoxious!

Charity shops and second hand bookshops are cool! I was on a coast last week, and I saw an amazing second hand bookshop not far from the beach. It's called The Honesty Bookshop. Full of non-fiction and academic books; just the way I like them. They were priced quite thoughtfully (not dirt cheap). The most amazing thing was that it was completely unmanned or unwomanned. It said on the poster that one can pick any book, use honesty and push the cash through the crooked crack bang in the middle of an ancient door. I was highly impressed with the quality of the books as well as with the concept. You couldn't be dishonest there, even if you were a complete sociopath. I bought 4 valuable books for about 50 quid there, and don't regret any penny spent there. One cheapie as well, which was a battered 1973 reprint of R.D. Laing's literature, although I already had a clean copy back home.
