hmmm. i think i remember you much earlier posts. Congrats o! na only akolawole you tell the good news abi??

yeah. most shops are almost done with their sales. but you can hurry down to the below listed shops as soon as you arrive:

1. Mkone, their sales is still on and they've got some very good bargains.

2. Next Clearance Stores I am not too sure if they have any in manchester or london but i am very sure of birmingham. Good bargains as well. But i will advice you to go there early morning as them dey open before people come in to get all the good stuff wink there is a direct train i think from london.

3. New Look. I love this store. Nice things. Their sales is over, but if you enter their stores, at the ''back back'', you will still find some things on sale on their rack. You have to be patient though. Lots of nice things hidden between some ugly stuff.

4. Marks and Spencer. Very good for underwear and lingerie. You will get some ''buy one-get, another half price''.

5. Debenhams. They claimed they had sales but all they brought out were the ugly stuff. But you can get nice men shirts there at bargain price. I think the 'Thomas Nash' section.

5.Bon Marche. I think their sales is still on or you have to get to the 'back' of the stores. Get loads of ''mumsie'' and ''grandma'' clothes there.

6. Q S . Sales are still going on.

7. TM Lewin stores have their shirt prices reduced. Not bad at all. Ends at the end of this month i think.

8. Finally, primark, primark and primark grin grin grin They have started 'reductions'. So there are loads of £1 stuff. Very good to 'share' to people when you get to naija. Their clothes are not bad though. They just imitate the designs of the big stores. For them, sales no dey end. Na all through the year grin with £20, bag go full, hand sef go dey pain you to carry am grin

i hope you find my tips helpful. Personally, i shop anywhere i find myself. There is pratically no shopping centre that i have been to that i do not buy something, no matter how small. Strafford's shopping centre aint bad. Birmingham's massive and soooooooooo many stores. The one at Luton is alrite. Hemel Hempstead, okay. If i notice any more stores, i'll let you know.

p.s. keep all your receipts. some stores do VAT rebate. if you intend spending lots of money on shopping, you can get some of the moeny back at the end of your vacation. smiley

Funky,Mr P and Ako

I would suggest that if you guys want to meet on Sunday go ahead
and do so I really can't promise I would be able to make it regardless
of where it is. Although if you do finalise arrangements for this day do keep me in the
know just in case I find a way. September would be better for me
though I appreciate Mr P would have returned by then.

So Funky who do you support?I hope say na Man U. I was at the inter game
at Old Trafford earlier this month. It is near impossible to get tickets for most
premiership games unless you are a club member of some sort. If you want to see
a live game and aren't too fussy a lower league team would be easier. For example
I often watch my local club Crystal Palace. Though there ground is no theatre of dreams,
more like a den of nightmares, it makes an interesting afternoon out.

I have called you but the phone is switched off.

Not fixed the venue yet, i am looking for most convenience place for everyone.

I know you can get a direct train from your end to Liverpool street, then take just one bus to south east OR drop at Stratford, link up with underground to emerge at elephant & Castle.

@Funkybabe
Should get a train directly to London bridge.

@All

I have 3 places in mind, restaurant though.
Old Kent road, Walworth road or Coldhabour lane(Brixton). Nice Naija restaurants.

@Salsera
Dont mind Funky jare grin
To God be the total glory jare.

@VOR

yes o! i have no choice but to be a manchester united fan. Lower league wont do o! it just has to be a major team at the premiership. are tickets that hard to get?? what about getting them or ebay or one of those online auction sites??
Please, do try and make it on sunday.

@ Akolawole, Londoncool, VOR,

Funkybaby and I will be in London tomorrow. So if we can fix the meeting for tomorrow, it will be great. Her schedule too is tight for Sunday.

Sunday is tight for me. I have to attend two churches on Sunday in London. Whereon I would return to Essex on Sunday too.
Though I would be in the UK sometime December. Thats the earliest time I can return to the UK for now.

Many thanks.
