The problem in this country isn’t having a drink, it’s the culture around it and the idea that we need huge amounts to have a good time
Nothing wrong with having 1 watching the washing go around
Big fan of the solicitor waxing lyrical about how young people want to do more than sitting around in a pub and want to do something interesting at the same as having a drink and the three examples of it in use in the article are a bookshop, florist and a laundrette.
> you can even enjoy an alcoholic drink while you watch your clothing spin around.
*’when would you say your drinking became a problem?’*
*’hmm, probably when I started associating it with household chores’*
Think I’ve got a bad relationship with alcohol. If I’m drinking I’m drinking for results.
Not sure that would improve the shopping experience.
What kind of pet shop is filled with rambunctious yahoos and hot jazz music at 1:00 in the morning?
The best damn pet shop in town!
This feels like the highstreet is finally starting to wake up and realise that it needs to innovate to survive. People don’t want to go out and mindlessly buy “things” any more. They want to *do* things.
While we are at it, can we have the [‘husband storage pods’](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1730715) from China too? Essentially they are soundproofed pods where people can play video games whilst their other half goes shopping.
Meanwhile the Cashier at Whsmiths yelled at me today for “standing there not buying anything.” I had just stopped by the magazine aisle and had picked one up to glance at the cover.
