Lakeland

I went in for a potato masher.
I came out with a potato masher, a loaf tin and a mini roasting tray (which were BOGOHP… ok buy one get one half price, might take a bit longer for that to catch on!), a vegetable spiralizer and a new mini draining mat. I’m not sure what happens to my brain in this place but I suddenly want to buy everything in the shop for my own kitchen.
Extra brownie points for the friendly happy staff that served me at the till — she was so sweet she even had me signing up to their email mailing list which I usually avoid at all costs. Most of the staff on the shop floor seemed to just be chatting to each other — but I actually preferred not being harassed. The products all seem to sell themselves anyway!
They have a range of value to premium brands, and for added smugness I found the branded draining mat was more than twice the price in John Lewis next door straight after this ;)
