    comments please!!

    Very nice. Great old fashioned service. Wish I could afford to shop there more often! If you do go to Holt there are a few good vintage clothes shops too. (and a fab deli called Byfords, great service and lovely produce..)

    pocketbooks

    It's a British term for the little book carried in your purse (or sold as part of your purse) in which you wrote your expenses and outgoings. Sort of the old version of getting a mini print out of the ATM to see how poor you are! K
