I bought an Yves San Lauren shirt there once. Matalan saw off C&A from
the UK after 70 years. They are cheap, but not nasty. They are big and
powerful and can negotiate with branded names.

Ah. That kind of place.


Indeed. Some nice young fillies in their catalogue though. Even you
must get that through your door now and then

Actually no. Very few catalogues come in the post or even the free
newspaper. That's why I hadn't heard of it.

I did see a TV advert yesterday (I watch very little commercial TV) for
a store called TK-something-or-other which seemed to be doing the same
kind of thing.
