oh yea tidds....the town itself is depressing....i sometimes go to breahead as its brighter and more life plus plenty of shops that are OPEN....you see the same old thing in the town and there is no choice which is a pity when you think of the town as it used to be

I don't want to sound smug but we are spoiled for choice here, there are so many shopping centres within ten mins drive

I stay well clear of the mall, I cant stand the lighting the noises or the smell of the place. I don't know about any of you lot but between squalling weans, overweight mothers who constantly give their kids trash to eat to shut them up, I find I want to slap the mothers into reality and give the moaning weans something to moan about. I am not in the least mall friendly, I would rather be out in fresh air and let the noise rise up to the sky. My but I fair enjoyed that wee moan, next !.

although its nice to be able to shop when its raining and not get wet i am like you horn, i like the fresh air and the lack of noise.....yea i noticed that a lot of mothers are overweight and my god they wear and show the G string pants under their jeans......the rolls of fat could feed someone that was hungry...better than horse meat....
in the hot summer...when we get any, they cant open the windows up above so you melt which means that you hit the cafe's for a cool drink then after that you paroos the shops that are shut cause they are more interesting than the shops that are open.....then you get stopped by venders asking you to donate money for this cause and that...gosh if your lucky you might get out of the soak mall alive...oh yea, dont forget the free showers when passing a leak....cant forget that.....its free.....
bring back the old town centre were you could walk, chat without banging into some eejit and it was friendly.

The NHS will bend under the weight of these women, all the complications of obesity, diabetes,heart, lungs, you could go on forever and their children with dental problems. They should never have taken housewifery out of schools, mind you what would they call it now, you know sex equality and all that..............House survival, who knows but home economics would not cover accounts with budgeting washing, ironing, mending,cooking, scrubbing , sewing, making carpets, curtains, cushions,wallpapering, painting, nursing and basic healthcare I could go on for ever. The Finnart school most certainly prepared women for being a housewife. The most valuable asset being a abundance of commonsense,like if you can't afford it, don't get it.

My pet hate is when you are being served, the checkout operator or cashier talks over you to someone else.
