Overheard
in Next, in the Broadmead, Bristol, circa Christmas 2004.

Two women of a chavular persuasion were looking at sparkly party wear. One picked up a sequin encrusted nightmare and said to the other,

"Oooh, you'd look gert lush in this."

"Yeah, but I bet it's dry clean only, though."

"Doesn't matter my lover, squirt a bit of Febreeze under the pits, who'll know the difference?"

Mmmm, Febreeze pour Elle, tres bon...

Gotta love 'meaders

They may be a dying breed though once the new shinyness is finished.

Live in london now so not sure how it's going. Slowly I guess as people probably keep pinching the copper wiring!

I find the new set up strange beyond belief.
In Broadmead... Primark scouring, Clinton Cards rummaging scummers.
Right next door is the pristine shinier than a new shiny thing shopping centre.
I reckon anyone wearing tracksuits would vaporise the minute they step over the threshold.

Not to mention
the area where her fanny hits it...

You sure they weren't French?

true though
febreeze works wonders.

We play broomball... its like ice hockey -- on ice, but no skates, with broom-like sticks. Anyway, we were given pull-over jersies and the one lady on our team happened to get the nastiest one of the bunch.

You could smell it a good five feet away.

Doused it with febreeze, which i conveniently had in the car, and poof... problem solved.

Oh Broomball, gotta love it.

What's its appeal over hockey/ringette? I've never had a chance to meet someone who's played it before.

I hope the answer isn't the obvious, "'Cause you don't have to learn how to skate."

Brilliant!
Sweating like a 'Meader in a maths test!!

Just out of interest, what branch of Next was it? Broadmead was a strange beast and boasted two different brances of Next - within 100 yards of each other.

Do you remember the day former Rugby star Gareth Chilcot opened the 'Cornish Pasty' shop? (Opposite Next) The queue was mackier than for a Next new-year sale.

Gotta love 'em.
