and as a bonus they usually have lots of blonde haired girls on work experience from france serving croissoints as you enter

They also sell socks very cheap!

That's socks, as in footwear, rather than the esteemed forumite!

Decathlon is awesome!!

I don't care how knowledgeable the staff are or aren't - thats the same virtually all sports shops, apart from a few specialists and generally they don't have my shoes in on the cheap, so i've never got shoes from there.

But, their training tops - the dirt cheap £5 ones are brilliant! For training in they're as good as the £20 offereings from Nike, Adidas etc, but you can afford to not put the washing machine on for 4 times as long!!

Also, rucksacs, balls of all descriptions, cycling gear, all come highly recommended.

Only problem is everytime you go you want to take up a new sport. I've beend ragged away fromt he Archery section on more than one occasion, though I WILL get a bow someday...........

How much is that big plastic horse they've got in there - I can't see a price tag on it. It'd look great in my garden.
