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.

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
