idun Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 T K Maxx is a store. Sells cheap designer things, from biscuits,handbags, bedding, kitchen stuff, household stuff, to shoes and clothes for all the family.Actually for kitchen stuff and bedding it is pretty good. The dresses seem to be size 0 a lot of the time and at my thinnest wouldn't have gone round my thigh, so certainly no good for me, although I am sure if I looked properly they would have more generous sizes.

Matelot Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Indeed! I remember many a good run ashore along the 'Hard'. Then going for a few more wets at the Mucky Duck or Yorkshire Grey followed by a take-away from Manns Cafe before going back on board and being tucked in all safe and sound and snug by the Chief Stoker. Unless of course, I'd have trapped a 'gronk' at the Widow's Hop at Joanna's!!! Then who knows where I would have laid my boyish, tousled head! Ah memories! Oh, er, Sussex... South Downs, nice villages and towns, good beaches - basically it's very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
