In the beginning I thought I was in control - a birthday present here( coasters... oh yes coasters no less) a small item of clothing there (a skirt with decorative buttoms - yes I should have seen the danger). But I thought I could handle it.

Oh they were clever, yes ... I'd walk past and see lights in the window and things I liked and before I knew it I'd be inside, my heart beating, my temperature slightly raised as I picked up a silk photo album. OH yes I said it was a present for a friend - I made my excuses - but we all know what's going on here don't we....It's the way they get the young that really gets to me - I'm not sure if I'm ready to reveal this but I'm going to try - I've seen booties, books and a tambourine, I mean the horror, the horror!

We must do something about this while we still can...

BB you need help. Call NHS Direct and get your patch prescription.

It's not my cup of tea either so I just won't go in there - end of story. If it makes other people happy - good for them. It does seem that saying that you either like something or don't like something is so fraught. Nothing is ever going to please all the people all of the time.

Exactly Cassius, but it's not so much the saying you don't like something that raises tensions - it's the going on and on about how much you don't like it. I don't like Iceland but I don't rant about it.

Mrs TP bought my sister some nice presents for her birthday from the OB in Islington. My sister loved them. Everyone was happy.

If you don't like the shop don't go in it.

That's what many of us said about wedding presents.

Wedding presents were a precursor of the current fad for recycling.

Oh sorry I believed my sister when she said she loved her presents. My mistake.

An interesting observation.

Is there anything earlier than 1988?

[snorky]

Nick Nacks ?

When did Nazi uniforms and bayonets become nick knacks ?

[AnotherPaul]

Kerry Catona will officially open Oliver Bonas this Saturday morning.

[macroban]

A visiting cat for cat-loving East Dulwich. Smart move.

How very upmarket - will she visit Iceland on the way - or is Kerry Katona someone else?

Is that what Target Arms sell? I've never been in there.

Or Oliver Bonas.

[Only me!]

On the Wedding present topic.

They are actually always great value.

You get ?50.00 of food & drink, in return for a ?15.00 present.

Bargin!

Or less if it is recycled.

I'm not keen on Target Arms.. It seems to mainly stock deactivated firearms (which I assume the average teenager can reactivate with ease to gain some respeck).

Some things are just beyond satire.....:))

[mattham]

when was the last time you saw a teenager packing a WW1 era rifle, of the kind they seem to sell in Target Arms? If they want respek they need a glock or something

[dulwichmum]

If Oliver Bonas are having Ms Catona open their shop on Lordship Lane - they are NOCD.

It should be Helena Bonham Carter or Kristen Scott Thomas, how very dare they!

[Asset]

DM what's NOCD? I'm sure that was a wind up, Iceland have her exclusive.

[dulwichmum]

Perfect Asset,
