    If they go down, where would I find DVDs, toys and games at a 30% mark up on internet prices?

    Stealthy | 26 Nov '08, 18:47 | X
  • Yes, for one reason

    Pick & Mix!

    crablin | 26 Nov '08, 18:51 | X
    • i used to buy pick and mix from them nearly every week

      and then fucking candy king put the prices up and stopped people from using the cardboard cups which were the surefire way to get tons of sweets for relatively cheap. cunts.

        • Do they sneer at you when you ask for something popular like Pear Drops?

          'Ha! You should try Parsnip Pops bro, stop buying what 'The Man' wants you to buy. Obviously, we've run out, we'd have to reorder from Japan, it'll take about 6 weeks...oh and they're 60p each'

  • for a 'poor person shop'

    woolies was always surprisingly expensive compared to their competitors

    soapy | 26 Nov '08, 19:01 | X
  • Yes.

    It would leave Blockbuster as being the only worthwhile shop in my tiny, pathetic little town. :(

    shucks | 26 Nov '08, 19:08 | X
  • Yes!

    Where else am I going to go to stare at cleaning implements and shit 80s dvds on a Saturday morning?

  • I thought it just did....?

    ChrisJabe | 26 Nov '08, 19:28 | X
