Know exactly what you are on about but we have learnt never to go shopping on a Thursday all year round. Same things but minus the mobile phone's but replace them with those bloody mobile chairs. Pension day is not a pretty sight in shopping centres. Not to mention the rush they to get the subby parking bays. Yes we stock up about four weeks before Xmas because you get the double wammy. The worst time is if you see the olds with the grand kids, then forget going there.
That's the way the mop flops.
My thanks to Brian for this site.
