Somerfield.

Great thread, some very good memories of stores we relied on when younger, so many best outfits came from C&A, and Galt toys were very special when our children were young.

The one I do miss most is the original Habitat when owned by Terrance Conran.

Unusual quirky finds always made shopping interesting as opposed to the now run of the mill shops found on every high street. Same old same old up and down the country.
