Indeed it's similar here, I haven't been for years though. it was ideal for kids clothes but I'm tempted, I'd heard someone picked up a shotgun cheap at one once ( amazing he had his certificate with him) may be worth a look again methinks :) and I am an early bird :lol:
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
