Advantages: Cheap. Good for buying presents. Disadvantages: Sell a lot of titles you've never heard of....
The Works is a discount bookstore which can be found on many high streets. I have browsed around a fair few discount bookstores, but have always found this store to be the best in it?s class. Overall, I tend to find that a lot of discount bookstores sell a lot of uninteresting titles, & books you?ve never heard of. The Works does also fall into this category, but seems to also sell more bestsellers than other stores (often current ones at that), covering a wide range of authors. Books are laid out according to genre & are for the most part stacked on shelves with the cover facing forwards, so that you can see at a glance what titles are in stock. The more popular fiction & bestsellers are laid out on tables at the front of the store, with reference books & childrens books being on shelves running down the sides & back of the store ...

Advantages: Tastes good Disadvantages: doesnt freeze very well
Morrisons Danish White Bread.
Size 400gms.
30p
Packaging just like any other loaf in a clear cellophane packet.
Our family first tried this bread at a family members, when we all turned up hungry and raided their kitchen, to make toast and sandwiches.
All our older family member had was Danish Morrisons Bread.
Anyway we all had our fill and thought the bread was really nice after at first turning our noses up at it.
Now we buy this bread all the time, we love it, for toast and pack uP.
We all the family all love and like this Danish Bread,esp. the Morrisons kind.
This isnt the only bread we eat in out household but its the best white bread we think, and we have tried them all.
We normally only buy what's on offer, but now we just buy this bread because we love it.
The only thing about it doesnt last very long after ...
Advantages: Cheap, random selection Disadvantages: Random selection, rather hit and miss
Student life requires budgeting, which often involves purchasing daily essentials in cheap pound shops or from chains like Morisons, Wilkinsons and the like. Unfortunately Oxford does not have many of these, The Works is about the only cheap shop there is ? though there are two or three of these (on in the Westgate Centre next to Sainsburys, one on Cornmarket Street and maybe one on the High Street). I don?t know how many branches there are nation wide; but I know there?s also a branch in Colchester, which is much the same.
What do they sell?
The Works is primarily a cheap book shop, but also sells stationery, art equipment and other bits and pieces from time to time. The books tend to be slightly obscure, but are often going cheap. There seem to be a lot of biographies of D-list celebrities, for example Ulrika?s Johnson?s ?Honest ...
