There's not just one but maybe (correction- AT LEAST) three shops in Penzance
that from the front seem to sell off-colour novelty goods going by the window. The usual dross, French maid barbecue aprons, lava lamps, plasma balls and so on. Then the lower tone novelty items:- walking willies, remote control fart machines, page 3 playing cards, plastic bongs and massive marijuana design t-shirts, dubious 'legal highs' and foot long rizlas, boob pouring milk jugs etc. so pretty common fare for a seaside town. But when you go in through the doors, the theme changes:- they also apparently sell air pistols, air rifles, sheath knives, crossbows (!!!), binoculars, walkie-talkies and the assorted paraphernalia. But it doesn't stop there... go through to the back of the shop and they've got cheap nasty looking dildos, vibrators, outfits, lubes, rubbish fetish-y stuff and 'sexual enhancer' pills.

Now I don't know who their target clientele is but to me it sounds worrying like their ideal customer is an immature stoner survivalist maniac who likes to stalk his victims with a loaded crossbow and hunting knife, whereupon he kidnaps them, dresses them up nastily and does unspeakable things to them.

So... one shop with this particular stock variety in a town might be considered odd, two in the same town might be thought of as unfortunate. But three? There's something unpleasant going on down there......
