(interruption) (laughter) (pause) So (pause) what (pause) kind of shops are you in to, w- where where would you get your clothes from and stuff (pause) do you have a set place or do you mix around?

I go everywhere me, if I see something I like I buy it

The majority of my stuff is from like Dorothy Perkins

No 'cause I could go in there right, and there could be absolutely nowt (pause) and I could go in there and there could be one little thing that I might like

It's getting, I d- don't like it as much but the m- majority of my stuff's from Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Primark

I got my coat from New Look (pause) I never buy anything from Primark, 'cause it's just er I don't know (pause) it doesn't fit us right

You've always got to like the different size to what you actually are

Exactly

Matalan's the same, makes you feel dead fat

No- (pause) the bras don't fit us so there's no point in, I'll get the knickers occasionally

The bras don't fit (interruption) me either

(interruption) The jeans are       , 'cause they are just like, they don't last that long (pause) they like fade and the (pause) (interruption) seams look like they are going to rip apart

(interruption) yeah. Mm-mm

Leggings are bad from there (interruption) as well I've always got a hole in my leggings

(interruption) Uh-huh. And er I don't really like the tops that they have in there (pause) so

The dresses are all right (pause) sometimes

Mm (pause) I don't I never really look at them, I think if I was going to get something I'd get maybe a cardi or hat and gloves (pause) or a cheap pair of shoes

(interruption) Mm-mm

No

In the Metro-Centre?

No

Ah well I'll not know then (interruption) (laughter) (pause) I'll not know you see (pause) I don't know

(interruption) No the one in (pause) in town, the new one, the one you haven't visited yet (pause) even though it's been there for like a year. No it's like this shop and it's in total darkness, you go in and you like you need like a (interruption) torch

(interruption) Hollister uh-huh and there's no prices on anything and it's all like, sizes (pause) z- double zero to like a six (pause) and (interruption) no-one fits in anything

(interruption) And it's only dead good looking people that work there

Yeah (pause) they had like body- what was it (pause) lifeguards in the opening day (pause) (interruption) for erm security and that

(interruption) You've got to be a model to work there. Uh-huh. So do you actually have to have a torch to go in?

No it's just like (pause) it's literally like (pause) little lamps

It really is dark

And you cannot see anything and there's no prices on anything

Just 'cause there's the groups on Facebook saying welcome to Hollister would you like a torch and then when you said torch I thought (pause) t- they weren't actually kidding (pause) and you had to have a torch to (laughter) walk around

Ah I don't know they might give you a torch just to be fair (pause) (interruption) it's just really really dark inside

(interruption) I don't know

I'll have to have a look (pause) I'll give you a text when I've seen it (pause) (laughter)

When I went there, I c- I'm sure there was price tags on it (pause) on the clothes

(pause) I just know the label (interruption) anyway like from America, and I just think I wouldn't go in there

(interruption) No

(interruption) Every

(interruption) Yeah it's horrible

Everybody's walking around with a bag, with like a man's chest on

Aye

Ah, I don- haven't seen them (laughter)

'Cause you don't go to town
