What’s your favourite place to browse around, looking at the wares? (not online).

I’d have to say mine is Machine Mart.  I just love all the tools!

Either that or a large motorcycle showroom...  the smell is divine and rows and rows of pristine bikes - drool!

Bellycaster

Farm Shop...................then Guitar Shop!

octatonic

Motorcycle shop, particularly older, retro bikes.

Alnico

Coda music.

It should be called Milliways Music.

"The guitar shop at the end of the universe."

BigBearKris

ASDA

Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville.

Also Waitrose.

As I only go during the week generally I would say Andertons or guitar guitar. Other than music shops I don’t really love shopping.

Peach

Decathlon. I could easily spend a LOT of money in there. 

GuitarGuitar too obviously.

I spent time in TK Maxx and Debenhams buying bedding over the weekend.

I know how to live on the edge when I go shopping!

I like Waitrose in Worcester. It has more stuff than the other branches I’ve been in - sushi bar, wine bar, two cafes, sort of indoor picnic area, surprisingly nice toilets. I’ll wander around for five minutes, go to the toilet, get a free coffee and buy something like skinny popcorn. 

If we are out shopping I’m pretty much kept in check by the promise of a visit to a coffee shop, despite the many naysayers on here an over priced milky coffee is one of my pleasures in life.

Can't think of anything that I get that excited about to be honest, although I quite like to look around a big Forbidden Planet store.

I do like the “tut” isles in Lidl and ALDI... always crap you don’t need but want!!!!

Butchers Shops .... as a youth i used to weep in them ...

Foyles book shop on Charring Cross Road. It’s the best book shop I’ve ever been in. 

James Smith and Sons umbrella shop on New Oxford St. It has hardly changed since Victorian times. It’s a lovely window into the past. And their umbrellas are great. 

JerkMoans

Hate hate hate shops and shopping in them in the main.

can make an honourable exception in the case of Majestic Wine.

Used to be Borders books, for a coffee and magazine read. Now foyles in that London , but it’s a much longer journey to get there!

Hopefully both of you got to see Foyles in the 80s and early 90s before it was refurbed. It was a maze of tiny book filled alleys spread across what were several buildings.  Was such an experience finding your way around. Bit too corporate now which is a shame

I'm off to a car boot sale in a short while.

A stroll in the outdoors.
