with being busy at work I have only got today to get last minute prezzies for the other half and my pooch, so unfortunately I have got to make a trip to meadow hell
which to those who don't know is a large shopping complex in Sheffield, real name is meadowhall. It is going to be carnage, anybody who as watched the brad pitt movie world war z will know what i'm talking about.
So just in case I don't make it back out alive it as been fun knowing you all and please feel free to have a minutes silence for me over the festive period.
as Arnie once said hopefully i'll be back.

Meadow Hell lol. Last shopping day before xmas! Sure you will be in and out within an hour....... of each queue.
 
Well guys I made it, got there for 8.30 grabbed a coffee, shops opened at 9 and I was wheel spinning the van out of there for 9.40.
How women spend all day in there I will never know.

I don't buy presents for anybody. Or send cards. Or put up decorations.

I wouldn't know it was Christmas except I am forced to have time off work and watch rubbish on TV.

Probably just take the dogs out.

Have a good one.

easy one there. a man needs a pair of shoes. goes into shoe shop. sees shoes. that'll do, buys shoes, goes home, or for a pint.

woman needs shoes. goes to shoe shop. tries on 20 pairs. don't like any. then visits 15 more shops, trying on a hundred or so. then returns to 1st shop and buys the 1st pair she tried on and didn't like.

I make you right on that. My missus and sister once went shopping for some gear for a holiday. Leaving me with the screaming little uns, they were gone for over 7 hours! Upon there return i didn't utter a word, i just strolled out the door and down the pub

I had to endure 10hrs of Cheshire Oaks on Saturday with my wife and youngest daughter (Last 2 hrs I was kipping in the car). Amazingly the car park was full but hardly anyone there. We have Merry Hell, sorry, Merry Hill Shopping Centre near us. I have steered clear today cos I can't afford the fuel to sit in queues for the car parks. Have a good Xmas everyone.
 
gawd. cheshire oaks. not far from me .in Hellsmere Port. horrible place .
 
it's a retail park full of handbag and shoe shops. pubs selling fake beer at £3.95 a pint.
 
I know what you're all talking about, back in the UK, our local Mall was ''Lakeside'' with a massive retail park next to it. Always absolute murder to get in or out during Bank Holidays and Xmas sales... Which i bet is going on as we talk, being as it's ''Boxing day'' and normally the first day of the Sales!!

What a contrast over here, The Cyp's have only this year started opening the bigger supermarkets on a Sunday for half a day, and even they are few and far between.... Most shops still shut half day on Wednesdays, which can be a real pain at times. Most outlets over here, only open half day on Saturday's too... Grrrrr!!

In China everything open by 8am up until around 10pm 7 days a week!! lol!!
