Christmas Shopping

[eldar]

Okay, I give up, what is the purpose of this yearly ritual? We have adverts all around us telling how Christmas is supposed to be fun and great and everything but so far this year my experience has been far from, in fact all I've seen is a mall full of shops of three basic types: clothes/shoe shops, jewelery shops, Body Shop & clones. Take them away and there's nothing left. It's depressing.

Go to Rochester (Kent). The only chain shop on the high street there is Julian Graves. Admittedly, unless you want to buy a wedding dress or a dolls' house the rest of the shops aren't worth going to...

Might just be a little bit out of the way!

American malls were already like that 20 years ago; this is nothing new.

My experience is that British malls aren't much different though...
