Just thought i would throw in a few UK/Aus shop comparisons for those not here yet.

If anyone has others or disagrees say so.


B&Q = Bunnings

BHS = Target / Kmart

Debenhams = Peter Jones / Myers

Currys electrical/ Dixons = Dick Smith/ Harvey Norman/ Tandy

Tescos = Coles (not as good but better than woolworths in my opinion)

Furniutre superstores (ive forgotten UK ones!!!) = Harvey Norman. Some cities have Ikea and for those of us who havent got it Freedom furnture is similar alternative.

Anymore?

Stormz

W.A. Salvage - Pound Store

mutant

Salvos = Oxfam

Pollyana

Oohh, got excited for a minute, thought PP was back....then i saw the date

I do lurk from time to time, but have little time to myself these days since starting work.

I was also shocked when i just saw this thread as i dont remember starting it.. i thought someone had hijacked my name!!!

Madhouse!

Retrovision is good for electrical appliances too.
Spent a bomb in there so far

Madhouse!

DOH...Oh well time for update

Pollyana

Can't even say it was one of those late night "what am I doing still up" threads!

podgypossum

Tis true... and certainly not a show stopper judging by the lack of response..lol

Looking at it though, has made me realise how much i have forgotten about UK shops 3 1/2 yrs on. I'm having trouble thinking of comparisons
Can only think of one..

Boots = National Pharmacies

Merlot

Funnily enough after 14 months in the UK I can't recall the Ozzie shops as well as I could, apart from the usual suspects . . Coles, Big W, Target.
