There are 8 branches of Fenwicks in the UK - so I suppose its a bit of both (specialist and regular retail)

As you haven't had the experience of one before MB let me describe it to you. Its a very posh department store. They sell allsorts of things, but the York one seems to specialise in perfume - its right at the entrance and it takes ages to walk through the whole section. As a small child I used to see if I could hold my breath until I got to the escalators at the back of the shop (as the toy department is in the basement). In fact, I sometimes still hold my breath as I wouldn't be surprised if the oxygen content of the air is less than 0%

Good question! Also, you have such odd stories.

Oh, and Hi to Dreadwind too!


I have a very interesting life :P

And the dog eats pedigree chum and bleach when it gets near the floor tiles...


Sounds like Beatties! ****, I didn't know there was one in York. Wish I'd gone in when I was up there two years ago.


It sounds like a cool shop. I'll have to try and find one.



I reckon Sheffield will have one.

Well, that's both a bummer and cool.


Bummer, because there's not one in Sheffield.
Cool because I'm going to Leiscester uni for a tour and interview.
Maybe I can pop in there for a poke.

I do - York is the only place in the world I can imagine living in. The only thing that could make it any better is a change in the council and a few less tourists (although don't let my disliking of tourists stop you visiting my fine city)

Now I knew villagers were strange (due to the fact a few of my friends live in villages) but not that strange :P

I bet my rain is more special :P Today, I stepped out my house, it pissed it down while I waited for my bus, got on bus, it stops raining. Get off bus, starts pissing down again. Swim to school, get in school building, stops raining. Have assembly. Exit school building, starts raining again. Swim to Maths, get to maths. Stops raining. etc.
Leave school, not raining. Helpful friend says 'Wow. Look it isn't raining at the moment. Que thunder and rain again. Swim to bus stop, get on bus. Rain stops again. Exit bus, starts raining again. Swim up hill to my house. Enter house, it stops raining.
Enter home, try to figure out why the rain has a grudge against me :mrgreen:

I loved it when I visited. I stayed at the monkeybar hotel.
I found a little comic shop, that sold reissue Skids.

I dunno what the shop was called though...

Just think. We might've brushed past one another that week :-?

It's a bit like that. Except not so destroyed.

I don't go out in the village- they're all a bunch of inbred freaks.

We have the kind of rain that washes railway tracks away. No joke.

Not at all! The locals are coming along nicely. They use tractors and wear clothes now :P

I thought that guy in Rez Evil 4 looked familiar...

I'm lucky, I live half a mile out of the village, thank God for old farms. I never have to talk to anyone! :mrgreen:

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay MB. It'll have been Travelling Man that you went in, as it's the only comic book shop we have.

Indeed we may have brushed passed each other, although I try to avoid going into town too often thanks to the large groups of tourists who walk soooooooooooooo slowly that by the time you get where you are going you've aged about 10 years.

I'm not a fan of Resident Evil, but I've seen videos of it so I get the gist.
