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!

Its unbelievable, I also had a similar problem in Boots, not a single pair was to be seen. It must be against the trades description act!!

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
