I prefer the Trafford Centre, it's indoors, good parking and loads of shops. Not too chav ridden, either.

Depends what sort of clobber you want. Traff centre is just your usual tat, may aswell go to TKMaxx anywhere.

Why not manc town centre? Some good shops in our wonderful city centre, and as a bonus, when you return to the car it will probably still have all it's wheels

Trafford centre i'd say as well mate but dont expect any designer bargains due to the ridiculous charges that the centre charges.

Having said that its warm and dry and your vehicle is relativly safe and plenty of places for coffee/food afterwards

Due to liverpool being the capital of culture next year there are major redevelopments going on at the moment so as much as it hurts me to say it i would go to manchester, to be honest though prepare to be shocked as the lads are very in touch with there femine side in manchester and also dress like transvestites half the time. Oh and your wheels may still be on your car but be careful you dont get shot by a 'soldier of the street'

Forget the Trafford centre mate, the newly revamped Arndale and surrounding city centre stores can not be beaten. So much more choice, you could spend a whole day walking around and still not cover everywhere - but the Traff centre can be done in under 2 hours.

I agree - Mrs Abdabz and I much prefer the trafford centre for normal clothes shopping and the general shopping experience. but if your after spending £150 on a shirt (for example) then either of the city centres are a better option...

Manchester City Centre every time!!! I don't like the trafford centre, it gets too busy and the shops are poo, not much choice either!! I only ever go to the trafford centre if I have no choice!! Manchester on the other hand, you can spend a full day there and still not get bored!!!

Oh thats cool mate, thought it might of been a ******** trying to tell me slow down. Shes looking a bit different since you saw her last, ive ppainted my wheel centres black and got my strips along the bottom the bottom of my car like the 1275 GT's but ive got Baldspeed Racing instead.

Portsmouth is good for shopping mate and is also closer. Scott and Karen normallu go up Manchester at Chrimbo time for pressies, they love it.
