Next is crap - why do people feel they have to dress their kids 'trendy'? are the kids really bothered about what they wear? ...were they ever bothered about what they wore or was it the materialistic parent that fed them this crap that made them believe they must look a certain way?


I used to have kids come into nursery wearing their 'best next' clothes and the parents would then moan if the child got a mark on them from playing and learning:zzz: it makes me cringe!!

To go to the other side of the world and still feel withdrawals for 'trendy' kids clothes (or adults clothes for that matter) is wrong in my eyes!

Kids are kids!! - individuals!! not fashion accessories!!

and yes, i have been to aus before and when i was there, there were plently of nice enough clothes for kids and adults.

Threads like this start the scaremongerers off, from the UK. They start to believe they will never be able to buy decent clothes again.

I even heard one comment from someone saying 'they only go up to a ladies size 14'...i mean, what do all the larger aussie ladies wear:rolleyes:


Each to their own but it's a load of crap imo!

well we could also do with a primark over here, maybe you can get the same sort of clothes in australia but there is no way you can get primark prices!! they are the clothes you can send you kids to daycare in and not care if they got a mark on them as they only cost a quid!!

Wait until you have to shop for yourself and kids year round and you will find out quite quickly that the quality of clothing (unless you spend a stack) is pretty poor. Nothing wrong with hankering for stuff from back home, I regularly send parcels of cherry ripes and twisties to my friend in Peterborough.

What?
Is it not obvious in my post that i don't spend my money on NEXT clothing??
If i don't shop there now, while i'm in the UK why on earth would i 'hanker around for it' in aus:unsure:
i'll have better things to do with my time thanks;)
