    For me it is phone shops they are just so boring now all the phones are all the same big flat boring touchscreens. They might as well all come from the same factory. I remember going into a mobile phone shops used to be exciting phones had style there was lots of different designs.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Try to avoid Tesco - got caught once too often by slippery product placement. Such & such for the price of € and then beside it, the same brand but different packet at full price. That sort of 'deception' is counter productive long term.

    Newsagents. I do all my reading online now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Ive stopped bothering with all the large fast food places (McDonald's KFC etc) as I find the food is generally shyt and overpriced compared to the local chipper.

    Forbidden Planet just ain't as good as it used to be they have very little in there that I would be interested in buying now and I used to love going in there and buying loads. I don't go into game shops at all now must be getting old lol.

    Kinda impossible seen as they are long gone but you could say Tesco as they took them over.

    Same as above.
