Locked in a shop overnight.

[Frostine]

If you were locked in a shop overnight ( by yourself and in no danger )
Which type of shop would you choose ?
Mine would 100% be a bookshop . Even better if it had somewhere to make a coffee / tea.
My idea of heaven.

A bookshop, 100%. Ideally somewhere with a cafe so I could make lots of tea!

@LaTomatina

IKEA! Especially if I had access to the cafe as well as the showroom.

Yes IKEA!!

Ikea or John Lewis. Somewhere with a made up bed and a cafe anyway!

A department store.

First I would try all the makeup and the perfume. Then go to the food department for some lovely snacks which I would eat whilst reading books. Would probably try on expensive clothes too to see what is worth to splurge on and check what colors and shapes look best on me.

John Lewis. There's a cafe, clothes, fancy stuff, could sleep...

Oh and the nice dressing gowns too!

I was initially thinking bookshop too, but then I started wondering how many books could I realistically read overnight. Like...three maybe? So if I want to stay up all night reading three books I could just do that at home?! So maybe I need to do something better!

I'm giving this too much thought I think

@Eminybob not overnight, seemed like a long time at the time but probably wasn't. As a teen I finished work on New Year's Eve and quickly got changed to go out. Went to leave and the doors were all locked and the staff receptionist had gone. Couldn't find anyone in the store anywhere, tried phoning the petrol station but they couldn't help. My mum said she called the police
Ended up just sitting in the staff reception and eventually a supervisor appeared from the cash office, think she got quite a shock!

@Lemoncurd we need to hear more about this!

Somewhere with loads of nice food where I could just eat all night. And booze.

A chip shop
Preferably with Ray Winstone
We could play 'hide the saveloy'

Nah. Couldn't read that many books in 8 hours, but imagine how many donuts/chocolate you could get through...

Does kfc class as a shop

An art shop where I could play with all the mediums

Costco without a doubt!

I fantasise about this happening to me in Selfridges. I believe a few customers and some staff had to stay in the Birmingham store for one night when a heavy snow storm hit. Oh what bliss!

IKEA for sure. Pretty sure I could live in IKEA (minus the other people of course!)
In fact I'm pretty sure people used to try and deliberately get locked in IKEA!

Oh yes, Ikea - they have everything, bed, food/ drinks and even books (on display). That would do me nicely. Or a fancy chocolate shop.

Fortnum & Mason’s. It’s always been my go to place for a wander when I need a pick me up. Although I’d probably be walking up and down their stairs a lot to offset all the chocolates and other goodies I’d eat.

Waterstones in Piccadilly would be a close second. Floors of books plus a coffee shop and their lovely cocktail bar all to myself.

Hyperdales!!!!

Brilliant episode.

They’d have to make it that whatever you eat in that period doesn’t apply. No calories gained

I knew someone who got locked in a pub overnight years ago. It was a City pub near London Bridge so no one lived there. I think he was passed out in the bogs. He came round and got stuck back in to the booze! Can't remember what happened the next day. It was late 70s!

First choice would be a bookshop. Otherwise IKEA or a large fancy department store - Liberty would be nice.

Definitely Ikea.

John Lewis. I remember being envious of people who were stuck there once when there was a heavy snowfall.
