    I walked through the large Boots in town this evening and couldn't help but think there's a load of carp in easily wrappable boxes that no one actually covets. Buying them is just a case of giving for giving's sake and not MSE.


    You could not be more right! My heart despairs when I see such tat!

    Strangely enough I think the same when walking through most, if not all, high street shops at Christmas

    Was in Boots yesterday and bought. Nothing. Loads of tat in boxes so I have saved my money. Usually buy some of their Christmas tea or coffee sets but didn't find them attractive this year. Saw a few bits that looked like last year's sale stuff taken out again. Saw in the papers that Boots owners are trying to sell the company and I can see why.

    It is the whole company that the top owners are trying to take back private, rather than selling part of the company.
