Anyhooo...

So appaling was the shopping experience yesterday I actually forgot all about the bit which was quite good...

Went to Waitrose, got my Private Eye, got all the bits I wanted, pleasant staff, packed my bags etc. An oasis in a dull sea of mediocrity...

And they look after the Stepfather when he stumbles around in there too...  happy088

Is that a posh way of saying ASDA? Don't be shy now.

Oh. Sorry then. I thought they were the same outfit like. rubschin:
I don't think soooo!  lol:

Well I bow to your superior knowledge then, as mine is extremely limited on anything to do with shops/shopping. sick2:

I took one of approx 3 annual visits to the world famous
 Cheshire JOaks last night, and lasted about 45 minutes before I really did start feeling ill.
Swimming head and faint, I just HAD to get out of the rancid chav filled shell suit wearing vile stinking of burgers and cheap girlie perfume shit hole.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me how exactly they can derive ANY sort of  pleasure whatsoever out of shopping? confused:
A visit to the hospital comes close in terms of pleasure on this one. noooo:

I'll have to go back now too, as I only managed to purchase one pressie before my rapid escape.

I agree...

Even going in The Sony Shop yesterday was a disappointment... You'd imagine a place like that would be buzzing with all the latest high tech gadgetry, PS3, High Definition movies platings out at ear splitting levels, etc. but no... they don't even know how the bloody stuff works like...  noooo:

As for the rest of the shops, the assistants should all have been taken out and hanged apart from those in Waitrose...

It's not even the shop assistants that do my head in, only they're generally bad enough, no, it's a sort of 'shop claustraphopbia' that seems to effect me.
Far too much stuff to look at when you don't actually know what you're looking for, and a sort of panic sets in. Horrible feeling, and I really did feel as though I was going to keel over.
Youmg Growler jnr was with me fortunately. cloud9:

Fortunatelt, B and bloody long Q is on the outskirts of the town so I don't have to venture into the foetid centre... That would prolly send me heading for the Cyprus Airways ticket office...  noooo:

I couldn't ask for better friends. I could ask for more NORMAL friends, but not better ones.
