We have just got back from Bournemouth and this last weekend (Friday) as we passed the local Boots you could not help but notice how crowded the shop was, with people trying to force their way through the entrance doors when it seemed impossible to do so due to people inside. We later found out that it was a "flash sale" of Xmas gifts, with 70% off, this mostly being toiletries sets. We were told of people grabbing hoards of stuff, pushing and shoving, and staff, what they themselves termed, being assaulted by shoppers shoving them out of the way when they tried to restore some sort of order. Has it really come to this, that in decent areas like Bournemouth people have to fight over soap. Have seen the social media reports from elsewhere and can't imagine how bad it was in large city centre shops. Anyone experience it personally?

Why, ruffers, don't you believe that Bournemouth is a decent area?


Perhaps, on reflection, using a different adjective such as "serene" or "tranquil" might have been more appropriate I'll grant you, but the generic point remains that this sort of behaviour is spreading everywhere.

    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…      
    • Nice that the drinks have started up again. I used to arrange them when they first started and I met some good friends through them. We used to get 30+ people going at one point. The karaoke night at The Wishing Well was very memorable!
    • Yes, absolutely! in comparison to now, you are 100% correct!
