I want to Meadowhall when I was teenager, felt modern, new and huge then. Went again last year, thought it was dark, cramped and needed big over-haul, when you compare it to the likes to Westfield it felt like 1960's shopping centre.

I think it’s getting a multi-million pound facelift soon, not that I’ll ever see it.

Facelift? Thought she was going shopping 

[STEMO]

Could be meeting a young fit fella.

Be careful for what you wish for STEMO! Maybe she is staying there with a dishie young man!!!:

Maybe poor old Uncle STEMO is happy for a younger man to take over the strenuous aspects of his marital duties?     

I don’t do strenuous aspects any more. I don’t even like to think about them. Yuk.

Happy to say I've successfully avoided all shopping centres for over 3 years now. Can't stand them or the vast majority of multiple retailers with their same as everybody else poor selection, high prices and untrained 'tards for service. Now out of the way shopping places with their small Victorian shops packed with specialist retailers are interesting, but sadly rare and gradually dying out. Aldershot, North Camp and Emsworth were three good examples, but I must admit I haven't been to any of them for quite a few years. I was in London last week for a Christmas drink with some friends and did enjoy two undercover markets with their wide variety of goods and talking to their knowledgeable owners.

These days apart from our excellent old school local hardware store, Lidl, Aldi and occasionally Tesco (when they send me 10-15% off vouchers) I tend to buy everything else online.

........and that is the way the retail trade is going and most of us will be purchasing our goods.  Another reason why cash is being assigned to history.

So your the b**ger searching through his purse for them when I'm waiting impatiently in the queue.

Cannot be many of us that havent been to a shop, to look at, handle,listen etc to goods and then gone hme and bought cheaper online. And yet big shopping centres still thrive. The new ones have other activities in addition to just shops and food outlets. Still my idea of hell.

Sorry not guilty. I have a shopping list as I can't get round and get out of crowded supermarkets quick enough, without the list much will be forgotten in my rush. I'm all organized as I'm used to Lidl and Aldi checkout speeds where they have productivity targets they have to reach, whereas Tesco are always on a go slow in comparison. As soon as I'm served register contact-less Tesco Club card, shopping is thrown back in the trolley and voucher handed across with debit card at the ready. Then when I'm outside away from the shop & crowds I pack my shopping from the trolley into shopping bags.

I shall take swmbo to Sainsburys tomorrow. We will arrive at around 2pm and its unlikely we will leave before 4.15pm. 
I should add that I will spend most of this time sat in the car reading the paper.

Does it really take that long to read the Express Albs?

And sadly, part of the reason there are so many empty shops in our high streets
