it smelt of despair. there's almost no stock left, although they do have an abundance of ironing boards, desk fans and paul o'grady's autobiography.

i bought two packs of kitten stickers. 69p each! get in.

Stickers for kittens?

Are you doing swaps?

- the staff looked even more miserable than usual
  
  the constant christmas music probably doesn't help

the one on brixton high street has been packed every day for the last 3 weeks.

KITTEN STICKERS

Perfect; I've been having trouble identifying kittens from other things lately!

There is a sign in the Woking branch

asking customers not to assualt the staff.

Not only are they losing their jobs but they are getting assualted as well. Happy Christmas!

  cos the sales arent as radical as the media has been implying. fucking idiots.

I looked at Woolworths 2 weeks ago

    - Kitten stickers? Check out the store in Neal's Yard that's full of Japanese stuff.
      
      I can't explain it but it's the one where the skater shops are in the basement, the shopping centre there in Covent Garden.

- I went in the one in windsor couple of weeks ago.
  
  I found the discounts quite disappointing and to be honest the store looks like Edmonton Ikea Riot mob had run through it.

- That's a typo, it's actually "kittens tickers".

- Yeah I was in the one in North Finchley on Saturday
  
  It reeked of depression and shattered dreams.
  
  And approx 1,000 Steven Gerrard Calendars.

  - The Stevie G calendars were doing quite well
    
    until they got into the box and dived theatrically.

- The one in Eastcote closed a few weeks back
  
  Epic queues every morning beforehand, I suppose closing-down sales are to the masses of the Hillingdon/Harrow border what Radiohead in-stores are to me.

      Uxbridge won't be the same dodging past "issuesir" into Woolies as a short cut to the bus station

  - One of those discount stores
    
    that seems to change its name and layout every three months, including a spell as 'CHRISTMAS SHOP', which just makes me think of the Butterfield Detective Agency sketch off Peter Serafinowicz's show.
