I had a look around George today when I went food shopping to Asda in Oadby as I thought it looked as if they had quite alot of new stock in. I was immediately drawn to large signs offering 'any 2 items for £8' which I thought was excellent value. In fact I thought there were many items which seemed really good value and maybe prices were even more keen than usual. I thought the displays were improved and liked the way the jeans were forward facing and easy to see what was offered. The only problem was ,there was not anything I liked or would consider buying, either for myself or my family. The only items I did try on were bras, but they did not fit. For your information the changing rooms were disgusting. Dirty and scruffy. Whilst huge improvements have been made to the shop floor, the changing rooms were a big let down. I just hope they are next on the agenda. I have been keeping an eye open for anything suitable for my daughter, she is going skiing with her school. I have found some thermal underwear and socks which I bought from Aldi and thought maybe George might do fleece tops but didn't find any. The main outer wear, jacket and salopettes,I have bought from TK Max who have a good range at this time of year.

With reference to the email regarding baby and toddler clothing at George I would rather see in the baby section the clothing displayed in items rather than colours, as I think we are all open minded these days about boys and girls wearing a variety of colours and not just blue for a boy and pink for a girl. Therefore it is easier to look for the item required i.e. bib or vest and see all available colours and styles and decide which to buy with all in one place. I think the overall layout of the picture is good and items are clear to see, but with the above grouping in mind. Again with the 4 - 12 years section the items are clearly displayed forward facing so they do not need to be lifted on and off the display in order to see. The jeans between the jackets set sideways I think gives variety to the display but does mean you would have to pull a pair out to see what they are like and could then make the display more untidy when not put back neatly. Which inevitably would be the case! As far as the coat goes, I did not really have an opinion on the coat its self but thought it looked somewhat oversized within the display. I would prefer to see all the coats together rather than mixed in with the other items. If it is a coat you are looking for it is far easier to look at all together rather than have to search them out throughout the store and you may miss the very one you were looking for. Generally I think George is great for value and variety for childrens and babies clothing and items displayed clearly as per the photographs rather than pre-packed and on shelves is a good idea.
