Lakeland

Often pop in here when needed

Ye Ha! O source of wisdom that is Chinese! Lakeland indeed is a joy to shop in. When I first notified Lakeland H.Q. about the appreciation of their Epsom opening they sent me some vouchers of free mints, if I spent a £5! Unfortunately I can not enjoy them, diabetic, but my wife will, with the oven hand muffs, and an item that I can only describe as a mini microwave cooking pot, in durable transparent plastic, which cooks baked beans and other tined items in their emptied form, do not put the tin inside, unless you want wings or a trident,
Long live Lakeland.

I knew I was in trouble from the moment I saw the big sign over the old Waterstones store on Epsom High Street — it said «Lakeland Store opening soon».
My Chinese thrift gene generally keeps my spending in check but I have a weakness for cookbooks and kitchen appliances. Visits to Lakeland stores have therefore been dangerous sorties for me and my wallet in the past.
Now, they’ve only gone and opened a store where I work! They carry a range of kitchen and household products. For my American friends, think William Sonoma but with a wider range of goods.
They opened for business yesterday and I only had a brief look round. Fortunately not enough time to browse and buy properly. When I feel strong enough to resist, I’ll be sure to be back.
