    Some guy who was working in Tom Tailor told me it was meant to be opening December 21st 2007.
    Ha
    Half a year later and they are finally there.
    I wonder what the clothes are like?

    heard that as well about the xmas opening, maybe they meant this xmas, when i seen them working earlier this week, thought a different retailer might have been going in, but still has the tom tailor signage out side

    but my question is, what kind of market are they for, think their a german company, first irish outlet apartently

    oh, YNWA, you'll never walk alone, liverpool FC motto

    Is that all... Rather disappointing really. There was me thinking that it was some abbreviation for a life affirming staement or something. Oh well......

    Anyhoo, back on topic, are Tom Tailor just goign to be another version of Tommy Hilfiger?

    not great, although considering that ireland is one of the most expensive places in the eurozone, and looking at those prices, dont think their going to be that cheep

    Those are the 70% off sale prices! Not for me either I'm afraid.

    Any chance I can ask a favour here? I'm looking for a plain grey kids sweatshirt, you know the light "sweatshirt grey" (:confused::D) colour? Can't find one anywhere, if anyone spots one it would be great thanks!

    oh, ok

    agreed on the prices though, but not exclusive to sligo, cost of clothes is generally expensive, would buy most of mine in next, probably some of the better value stuff, and very good quality, or would buy them in the north or the UK, alot cheeper

    as for drink, can hardly afford it, maybe a few times a month, to go out on a saturday night, between, drink, entry to a club, food on the way home, would be lucky to have change from a hundred

    but then all of that would be for another thread

    Allow me to Clarify. The solution to all of our money woes is to buy all of our clothes on a thursday in Lids and drink nothing but noting but Graffenwalder (€3 something for 4) and we can all have plenty of cash........ only with nothing do spend it on.... Dammit!:D:D:D

    Has anyone else been to the second hand shop down the quay across the road from Plush Interiors? They have quite a lot of books (mostly fantasy stuff) some clothes/shoes, bits of furniture, and other odds and ends. Worth a root around in IMO! :)

    Yep I've been in there, bought a couple of bits. Some things are a good price but others are very expensive. Handy shop though.
