Hilariously written!<br /><br />I used to shop at A&F - on the rare times I went to America, and then a few times I bought online and had it shipped.<br /><br />But either the style changed, or I grew out of it. <br /><br />Once it came to the UK I lost interest. I've never been in the UK stores at all, and now have no desire to.pixielationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554997386379768395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308258288275568597.post-37049454931892997202010-01-14T07:49:32.156+00:002010-01-14T07:49:32.156+00:00I don't care how nasty of a mood I am in, you ...I don't care how nasty of a mood I am in, you always make me laugh.

Having UberGrumpy as a father, however, I have now come to despise shopping in Hollister. The phoney trying-so-hard-to-put-on-a Californian-accent youths in there that actually live round the corner from WestQuay in Southampton make me itch. And the clothes aren't even that nice.
