    and your ears bleeding from the volume of the music, that one?

    Devon.
  • That's the one. It is usually full to bursting so 'sadly' can't go in, but I did go in once and my yorkshire sense of thrift mutinied at the prices. Nowt wrong with a bar of soap. Plus after a short time my sense of smell shut down.

  • Oh Wonky know the one you mean! imageimageimage Can't walk past that shop either, scarves come in handy in cold weather tho, always have to hold it over my nose. How on earth do people work in there. I'd have a permanent headache and feel sick image

    I made the mistake of accompanying Possum to an Abercrobie and Fitch store in Brussels last year - over heated, under lit, noisy musak and overwhelming squirts of their "perfume" in the airco.   Crap fabrics too so not sorry to leave.  Never again.

  • Obelixx, not wanting to advertise but......went to  a Holister shop with youngest dil a couple of years ago.......that too was pitch black and overpriced. You had to take any garment to a dimly lit corner to have any idea of colour or size. I was worried about pick pockets the whole time I was in there. Couldn't see the point at all........no pun intendedimage

    is it Holister which has guys in their undies on the front door?

    Devon.
  • That's the one Hosta - awful isn't it?  I can think of much more respectable ways of viewing men in pants image

    SGL, great idea with the scarf! image smell prevention buffer, I love it! image

    The other trendy shop, I've never been in! However step daughter has worked there for a couple of years, she got "spotted" and asked to come in for an audition!?! Only the beautiful are approached! image she is gorgeous but luckily sees it for the pretentious twoddle it is, and is only there to get through uni image makes you wonder about why they select beautiful people when the lights are off in all the shops!?!

    The older I get the more I enjoy presents I can eat (chocolates), ones that die (flowers) and ones I can use up (candles, bath stuff etc). I don't have much space for 'stuff' (nor patience).
