spooky3 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Personally you couldn't drag me there on a Boxing day, you'd have an easier job getting me to go to Hospital. Yes, i'd like some of the bargain's, but i'm more of a "hmmm, when will it be quietest" because that's my pace of life. But, if you have been, what have you won, er bought?

spooky3 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Never would go Christmas eve or the few days following Christmas, I value my life far too much It was the BBC's description of shoppers at the White Rose Centre which got me, "you can see the whites of their eyes", scary. As for the poll, it may slide as the shopper zombies come home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 its called meadowhall for women and meadowhell for men No, there are plenty of women who get anxious just at the thought of going there too. I detest the place and seriously dislike the fact that some of the things I want to buy are only available at Meadowhall branches of shops in Sheffield so it leaves me with a hard choice between not buying necessary clothes or braving the infernal place. When I do have to go there I plan to go at a quiet time and then I do a version of ram raid shopping, parking close to the one shop that I have to visit and then leaving straight afterwards. If I have to spend more than half an hour in the place then I start getting very jittery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's a bunch of shops all together under one roof. Why would the shops and shoppers there be any different from anywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right it is, it's just that it's the local one with the common play on words, I could have mentioned any CBD or High Street, no difference to the OP.

Fingers Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's a bunch of shops all together under one roof. Why would the shops and shoppers there be any different from anywhere else? Why would the shops there be any different? Perhaps because the extended opening hours (closing at midnight in the run-up to this Christmas) mean working conditions there are worse than in shops elsewhere which open from 9-5:30 Monday-Saturday. Perhaps because in the run-up to Christmas shop workers are not permitted to park near the centre and have to use an overflow car park which may be about half a mile from where they work. Perhaps because the downward pressure on the prices of goods and the upward pressure on rents (rents cannot go down) leads retailers to cut staffing levels. I could go on… …and I'd better not start posting what I think about the shoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
