The Large Cool Store

This is a poem that shows the person/Larkin looking down his nose upon the working class. We can assume that these are Larkin's views because we have seen him use similar opinions on other poems such as The Whitsun weddings. The shop in the poem is maybe one like marks and spencers although now this shop is known as quite a higher market it hasn't always been. We see this by the way that he describes the shop as selling 'nylon' clothes and this isn't an expensive material its one that is cheap and one that is easily produced. Which again we could compare to 'Sunny Prestatyn' where the girl in the poster is wearing satin which is an expensive luxurious fabric compared to nylon shows the contrast from working class to the more upper class is what they wear. The poem uses 'they'  and 'their' it shows that Larkin is excluding/ separating himself from the working class people and they all stay together.
