A big thank to the 2 gentlemen who helped me on Friday 19.11 2016.I was struggling with my shopping I asked 2 staff members if they could help me. Without any hesitation they carried my shopping to my car I was on level 7 Debenhams. I did not get their names but they were tall slim build and one of them wore glasses the event occurred about lunchtime outside the Pandora store.So here’s to their kindness and good humour.They are 2 true gentlemen.Thank you from a very grateful shopper.
