Game shop is rubbish

I went into our local Game store on the high street last week and was very disappointed with the stock. They had no rabbits, pheasant or venison. In fact no meat at all. The whole shop seemed to be concentrating on selling video consols and the discs needed to run them!

Know what you mean -

Was starving on a night out recently so popped into Currys. Very disapointed to find a shop full of tie wearing Chav's flogging overpriced electricals

"I bought this garden-wire for 99p from the 99p shop, and this trowel, for 99p from the same place."

Then he'll say something like, "oh and I bought this vase as well, from the 99p shop."

We always ask him how much it cost... he stops, thinks for a second then says "99p".... we all and he doesnt understand why !

I'm not sure he's put the name of the shop together with how much things cost in there !!!

Which is strange because he's normally he's pretty switched on.
