80s/90s shops

Feeling a bit nostalgic today I will start- every good shopping trip would involve a visit to Bay Trading and Snob

River Island’s premium range was called Luisa Calvino. Obviously a made up name but people would call the office asking to speak to Luisa we may have taken it in turns to pretend to be her...

Ah, Internacionale - my first and only crack at a life of crime.

Tried shoplifting a t-shirt, got lifted by the cops and taken home to my utterly horrified parents.

To this day, I'm still puzzled why the rozzers put so much time and effort into putting the shiters up a useless teenage shoplifter in '90s Glasgow, when presumably there was more important stuff to do.

In their defence, it worked: haven't tried to steal any £5.99 t-shirts from low-end chain stores since.
