Small smelly little pet shops

Cages full of manky budgies

Stinky fat rabbits

Gold fish swimming in big tanks of cloudy soup

Lovely

Pets At Home can sit on it

You da man lofty!

No. Pet Shops belong to a more innocent age. Nowadays I'd worry too much about the types of lowlifes that buy animals.

Harridan!

*has a funny turn*

*proffers smelling salts*

I miss Woolworth's because I don't know where to buy random things like *thinks...thinks some more* hmm...what did I buy there?

Woolworths was where I bought my sweets!

Yeah, but who wants pick and mix that hundreds of dirty children have stuck their filthy fingers all over? Just think how much snot you've inadvertently eaten...

"The pick 'n' mix. Remember the pick 'n' mix in Woolworths? All the sweets individually wrapped. Proper, old-fashioned sweets, yeah? Not like the sweets they have now, all with knives in them and AIDS. "

Laughing out loud

Shitting Christ! Harridan is back!

Oh and I miss Andy's Records. And Zodiac (a toy shop).

Oh not Pick 'n' mix, just normal sweets. Reece's Peanut Cups, par example. Yum.

Borders of course, though I like Waterstones. The book barrows you used to find in Glasgow city centre streets. Lewis's and a few other independent Glasgow department stores long gone.

Oh yes, loved Borders. Though hardly ever bought stuff from there; always very pricey. Prob didn't help them with trying to stay in business. Mainly went in to look about.

Yep. I used go in every few weeks,but I think I only ever bought about 3 things from there.

:) C@A Modes, cheap and cheerful stuff, fantastic sales, miss it loads!
