Up until a few years ago I struggled to find clothing for my larger than average frame, but as I still consider myself relatively young, I wanted clothing that was still fashionable without looking like Pat Evans from Eastenders, although do you not think her earrings are pure class?? What do you mean no?
Well for those girls and ladies out there that don’t fit into the normal clothing ranges in most fashion shops, which is just about a size 14-16, you should pop into your nearest Evans, a ladies clothing store that specialises in clothing larger ladies from head to toe and just happens to cater for most tastes, even the most choosy of teenagers will struggle not to leave with a purchase in tow.
Most of their clothing range is available is sizes 16 up to size 30 however a small selection of clothing is available from size 14 ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Evans (Shop)
Advantages: Can't get into debt, lots of shops take it, from 11 with some banks, Disadvantages: Woolies don't take it!
The Solo card is a debit card aimed at young people that works like a Switch except you can’t get overdrawn – in other words in debt. It’s a great idea and allows young people to shop through mail-order and on the internet without using their parents credit card. Though some adults also have it if they’re not too hot with money-management!

Though the Solo is accepted far more than the Visa Electron, which only a small minority of shops seem to take.
Solo offers a cashback feature which you can use at all shops taking Solo. Most places won’t charge you, but smaller shops might. I was ...

Advantages: No worries about carrying cash Disadvantages: Many well known stores don't accept them
Switch, Delta, Electron, Solo - they're all basically the same.
I used to have a Switch card - accepted by virtually every shop or service - a debit card by any other name.
I now have a Solo card, due to recent financial difficulties it was all I could get. This works in much the same way as a Switch card - it's a debit card which you hand over in place of cash for payment and saves time and hassle writing cheques. Funds are normally debited from your bank account within one to two working days and you can also get up to £50 cashback with it where that facility is available. It will not allow you to go overdrawn on your account unless you already have an overdarft facility - unusual with accounts offering a Solo card to begin with.
BUT, and it's a big but, not all the expected shops - including large, well-known stores, accept ...
