TK Maxx coming to Brixton

Taking thread back:

What's tk maxx like? Is it cheaper than say Primark or Matalan? Only been in a store once. that was to buy a winter jacket in 2004 in the croydon store. I remember it was the winter of 2004 as I left my work in June 2005 and wouldn't buy a winter coat in summer.

Is it a British store? Why is it called TK Maxx? What is the origin of the name?

Are you likely to use the store? I've only been twice into the H&M store in Brixton so, not sure will even go in there.
 
They take factory seconds, end of line stuff, all sorts of random. Put it on racks and you go and try your luck. I quite like it.
 
Hmm interesting. Sort of like what you get in a sale-only all year round.
Not quite as IMHO nightmarish as that, but it pays to go in with a fairly open mind instead of thinking "I need a plain red cotton T shirt in this size".

Open mind? Are you a man or a woman?
 
Genitals do make a difference on clothing cuts and fitting.
You disappoint me - there was I hoping you'd repeat the stereotype of women taking ages and looking at umpteen things with a vague idea of what they want compared to men making a beeline for one clearly defined thing and then just paying for it without even trying it on. :facepalm:
 
Sorry to interrupt the off topic genital-fest, but I thought y'all might like to know that some TK Maxx branding has now gone up.

I think maybe a little more random speculation first? I mean what do you have to do to get banned in the Beehive?

But we need to think through the wider issues here too. I'm also worried that RD may use up all the facepalms in the U75 cupboard and then editor wouldn't be able to have any arguments with anyone and the whole board will go into a tailspin.

So I went to the Beehive last night to see if I was still barred, enjoyed a couple of drinks, and then promptly got myself barred again. :facepalm:

Don't ask, cos I don't even remember how or why :D

FFS! At least you can tell us why you were barred last time ;)
 
Hello. Haven't been on here for aeons, it's lovely to pick up the wandering threads.
Just walked past TK Maxx & saw the opening date but Ed has beaten me to it with the photo.
First 500 people get a £10 voucher so don't sell your place in the queue too cheap.
