Rant about Amazon couriers

I tend to. Use Amazon for items I won't find in stores or will be too expensive in store  but I do wish Argos would be one the giant it once was I miss the experience of getting the items in store and not online/in a small part of Sainsbury's 

I'm. Currently in one of my anti consumerism moods tbh but it's because I value feelings more than stuff but not to the extent of I would give up all my stuff but I always find my self chasing the balance 

I'm currently getting one more model beofre outing modeling building and painting on hiatus but a lot of that has come from amazon with mixed experience

I used to love flicking through their brick of a catalogue. I'd rather queue as well.

My local Argos had seats and I found sitting or standing in Argos at Xmas time oddly relaxing mu local Argos is a gym now and my other local is. Just empty I think I have fond memories of both I miss all the old stores Woolworths, bhs, blockbuster, gamestation, wilkos, 99p store and now i found out my local pound bakery is closing

Wilco were great on garden plants and bulbs and cheap mixed boxes of seeds, as well as cheap kitchen gadgets. I miss Woolies for pick and mix. 

I miss Woollies, Wilko & C&A.

I do like Argos as their drivers are great, always polite, follow delivery instructions and bring the goods up to my apartment. But unfortunately some of their stuff isn't very good quality. I ordered a new kitchen bin from Argos but it has a scratch on the lid and there is a big sticker on it that's one of those that you can't peel off, you have to scrape it off bit by bit and I really cannot be bothered, so I'm returning it.

Wilko do have a website where you can order for home delivery so I'm thinking of ordering a bin from there. From past experience their delivery drivers are not as good as Argos, so I hope it works out ok. It was better when you could go in the shop and look at & choose things yourself.

I loved the woolies cafe and the littlewoods cafe woolies did kids. Boxes with sandwiches and a toy and I had. Ore fun out of those to us than any McDonalds one 

Also Asda cafe used to do this too 

And chip shop kids meals used to include a book or. Toy now most are just the small meal option but put on a kids menu 

My old village did kids meals in a  smaller box though and you got a free lollipop 

I still miss Greenshield Stamps, I was so happy when I was considered old enough to stick them in the book myself.

I really miss Wilko, or Wilkinsons as it was when it first opened.Thier bulbs and seeds were always really good value and quality. I think all thier stuff was really good quality, we've got a clothes horse from there thats still going strong and was about a third of the price of a vile edna one.

I used to buy quite a bit of stuff from BHS too, they often had trousers long enough for my legs. Woolies was always a bit random though they did brilliant kitchen ware. Our pound shop closed too. I miss C&A too.

Who's old enough to remember when Littlewoods, Woolies and BHS all sold food?
