What about sheets?
Lambeth Council's PR team are trying to get in on the act - http://lambethnews.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/brixton-to-benefit-from-jobs-boost-with-tk-maxx-launch/ - including insightful comments from the Council and TK Maxx spokespeople
Councillor Jackie Meldrum, Lambeth’s deputy council leader, has responsibility for economic development and business growth in the borough.
She said: “I’m delighted to welcome TK Maxx to Brixton. Not only will shoppers be making a beeline for the designer brands, but it also brings with it more jobs and investment in the local economy.
“This is yet more proof that we continue to attract a good variety of retailers to the town, ranging from big names to quality independent businesses.”
Helen Gunter, a TK Maxx spokeswoman, said: “We are very excited to be opening up a new store and bringing Brixton shoppers savings of up to 60 per cent on great brands and labels.”

Hmm. All the prices sound stupidly high compared to buying nearly new stuff on ebay. Which only needs a postman to get to you rather than a container ship from China. But hey, consumption is so much more fun than recycling.

Street Party: July 2
Wife went today. Said it was calm and well organised, if a little light on stock so far.

Went into the ground floor only. Got a couple of pairs of sunglasses as I tend to get through them quite quickly. Didn't see any handbags I liked, not at the right price anyway. Not too busy near closing time. Thought momentarily about nipping upstairs but couldn't be arsed.

A4E - "Action for Employment" - they have been in the news a bit recently for the amount their MD has creamed off from the company, but I have only heard fairly positive feedback about the Brixton branch (by comparison with other back to work training/support providers that is!!!)

Wasn't there some woman on the council who was instrumental in getting TK Maxx to set up here? This branch may be ok (comparatively) but I suspect A4E success in this instance has little to do with excellence in their field and a lot to do with being next door and a suggestion during negotiations.
I may be biased by my scepticism that these agencies bring any added value to a 'oversupplied' market.

Went all the way to Victoria to go to Jones in the hopes of getting some nice but comfortable wedge sandals, failed, got some in Clarks for £55 then nipped into TK Maxx and got some more for 20 quid. Could have saved myself some money and definitely some time.

Do you wear them out with too much menacing staring at people?
sometimes there is so much menace a lens pops right out.

I reckon you wear them to stop blinding yourself with the dazzle from your teeth

TKMaxx can definitely suck you in with the whole "it's the only one left, it might not be there next time" vibe.
Best thing about having one in Brixton is going to be being able to return things easily - they only have 14 days no quibble refund, after that it's exchange or gift card only, so it'll be handy having one in walkable distance.
