Two years ago when we first visited the centre you had a job to get on to the car park.

Most of the cars would be from the Uk. If you look at the photos taken at 11am on a Thursday morning you can see a big difference.

I think the reason is if you come by car even for the day,

You can save a lot of money by travelling a few miles inland and shopping where the locals go.

We saved on fuel and food we also found that a case of beer was cheaper.

Than the cash and carry warehouses set up for the day trippers.
