It's a toss-up between Other Realms and Vibes & Scribes. Vibes probably wins out...

The English Market as a whole, given that I'm a complete and utter foodie.

BT is great for just meandering about, I love the shoe and handbag section.

Vibes and Scribes for when you're in the mood to browse, Waterstones for when you're not.

Le Soul, Indigo and Primetime for checking out runners (though all of them are overpriced). Also DV8 have great shoes, and have been steadily getting better the last few years.

... about what exactly? This has already been discussed at length here (scroll right to the end). I am female. I have size 10 feet. Get over it.

Love Joyce's ... it's great just to browse in and nearly always end up picking up something quirky or unusual. It's brilliant for pressies at Christmas or birthdays. Oh and foodwise love the shop in English Market where they sell the olives and feta cheese etc. Yummm miss that the most

Tubes is a good place for clothes and also Reflex on North main street. You get the odd thing in there for a good price..well better then elsewhere.

It's a toy/art shop, on Prince's Street, I think, the section that runs between Oliver Plunkett Street and the South Mall.

And because I'm less despondent now... Z13 in Paul St. Shopping Centre is pretty cool for unusual clothes.

People actually get despondent? I thought it was just one of Stephen Fry's words.
