As an update, I received an email from Wilkinsons Head Office this morning, apologising for the layout of their Huyton store! It didn’t say they were going to change it, however… but I’ll keep you posted!

Absolutely, although perhaps not suspicious, just all-too-common.

Good for you for deciding not to bother. My son is 3 next month, and loves to play with his toy kitchen, to clean, to play with his train set and his dumpers and diggers. He had a baby doll at one stage, but this seems to have been ousted by a cuddly giraffe recently.

argos is just as bad,but i am trying to boycott them anyway due to their selling of pink,fluffy playboy stuff which is clearly not being marketed at 18-30 year old heterosexual men.i have bought most of the kid’s presents from tesco,who have their toys arranged by brand or type such as ‘make believe’,for the toy kettles and ironing boards.yet despite my best efforts,my darling 5 year old son still comes out with ‘yuck,thats a GIRLS toy’ when we are in shops,even though he happily plays with dolls and prams at home.i tell him there is no such thing as girls toys and boys toys,that he can play with what he likes with the exception of toys which are not suitable for children such as ‘bratz’-now they are truly yuck!

Try Woolies, i believe everything is everywhere, no distinguishable divides between Male and Female items, more like a blend of ‘everything must go, to everyone and anyone’
