Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

Nor had I till Bridget mentioned them, but I laughed when I saw it... thinking of all the Aussie men, on here, frequenting them.

Hi

Strip Shops, those with pavement frontage, so Town Centres.

Malls, indoor shopping centres.

Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

Oh, ta muchly.
You probably think me quite a half wit.

Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

I reported it to one of the staff who went to investigate to see if he was still on the premises.

Thank you, Mups

Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

I'm disappointed. I thought that strip shops were night clubs where dirty old men in macs could go to watch ladies taking off their clothes.

And with the thought of there being so many all over the place in Australia, I was planning to organise a holiday there next year.

Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

Why would strip shopping, (OK town mainstreet shops) be more dangerous than shopping centres...
The parking on street or open air, is surely safer than those dank council multi story places and as for terrorists??? you serious?

It's the Mall's that are the targets ..if you read The Mirror, The DailyMaul or the Teleprompter

Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

I suppose one reason why pavement shops might be dangerous is the possibility of drive-by shootings in the street.

However, it has also crossed my mind when I've been in the multi-storey place that if a bomb went off, all the floors would collapse down on top of each other, so I guess there is the possibility of danger wherever you shop.
Awful thought isn't it.

Drive by Shootings?
The only references I can find to drive by shootings in the UK have been targeted attacks Mups..so unless you're a Granny Crime family boss or have absconded with the local casino takings, you're probably safe enough.

Re: Have things changed, or is it me?

Oooh bridget, I can see you don't know Mups very well. She is known as the Godmother on this site... owing to some of her shady associates.
