Allders (oxford).This store is very posh. The staff wear neat little outfits. Not sure if I should curtsey when I enter the store..The place is brightly lit in most of the areas. Some however are tightly packed,not so well organised. Walking along trying to do somewhat a juggling act,with the presents for christmas.The octopus comes out in me as I develop places to put everything. Still managing to tread on the toes of the lady in front,turn the lady to the side into a pincushion and drop one of my items.That is before I play dodgems with the neatly placed displays 2ft apart from each other (pushchairs and wheelchairs beware clothes jumble ahead). Anyway back to the opinion : The helpful staff rescue me and offer to direct me to the resturants (waitress service first floor) (self service second floor) After my well earned cup of tea I proceed to explore the store again. The china/glass/cutlery/Kitchenware all on the basement,also the electrical section here.Gifts,toys and cards too. I place my hands on a nice card for hubby and an assistant rushes towards me. Wondering where to place the card, I pay and she puts it amongst the goods I have already purchased. Just got to remember what bag.. Continue in store ground floor-fashion accessories,menswear,perfumery and telephones (quick call to hubby - need rescue, arms dropping off). First floor Hats,womans shoes,lingerie and the parent& baby room plus one lot of the toilets( Excuse me). Returning- Second floor Mens toilets,linens & towels, bathshop,curtains & lighting and computers ( my favorite). Oh no hubby spots me no chance of that lovely extra for the machine at home then? Never mind I'll come again.

I found Allders quite scary too...the lingerie assistants gave me that 'look' reserved for students which means, 'I'm watching you, you're bound to shoplift!' Great review...true about no room for wheelchairs.
