Beginning to suffer a little from cabin fever so we went out shopping today. We chose to go to Bourne End remembering there was an antiques centre there which usually has a selection of old engineering tools only to find it had turned into another costa bloody coffee shop.

Now Helen is quite happy searching various supermarkets for 'reduced for quick sale' bargains to re stock the freezer or prodding round the odd clothes shop etc etc, and while one should not really generalise, this is probably typical of many of the fairer sex who can therefore get a retail fix any day of the week in any high street, but just what are us chaps supposed to do?

Never really got into video games - had a telly tennis box in the 70's but that's about it!

The intention of my original post was to highlight how us chaps are discriminated against on the average high street - with the general demise of antique / junk shops, decent tools shops or even an old fashioned hardware store, our oportunities for a shopping fix are seriously limited in most towns.

I find most of my retail needs are catered for in our local town centre by an establishment called "The Brewery Tap". I set up camp in there whilst SWMBO goes shopping and buy junk off fleabay on my smartphone... :roll: :lol:

A friend of mine went into a "Tool Shop" in Sydney during a "Rally Tour of OZ". Turned out to be a Gay Bar!!!
