Is it originally a British store?

No, it's Gap's cheap(er) brand. Good for cheap fashions, kids things and seasonal t-shirts - Canada Day, St Patricks, etc - if that kind of thing floats your boat!

Oh really thanks .........saw loads of t-shirts with logos in the store yesterday saying "Manchester", "London", "Pride of the UK" and I just assumed it might be British.

Dirt cheap stuff .......quality definately looked a bit suspect though.

Didn't know it was related to GAP. Old Navy is good for fleeces, t-shirts etc. Quality is not the best but I find the stuff looks OK seems to last reasonably well.

So, you'd be taken in by "British" pubs, such as the Elephant & Castle, or Brixton (both in Ottawa), neither of which is remotely British in flavour?

That reminds me. Several years back I was in a Brit-themed pub in Waterdown ON. The theme carried into the menu. On offer was the "Brighton Beef Dip". I felt compelled to point out to the staff that Brighton is probably not best known for its cattle ranches. On reflection, I should have mentioned that what Brighton is best known for makes the phrase "beef dip" rather amusing.

It's a great place to pick up extra clothes for the kids to rough house in outdoors without paying a bloody fortune!
