There weren't too many of those IIRC, there's still one in Manchester City Centre that's been shut for longer with it's signs up than it actually was open.

Music Zone was okay, they usually had rather busy shops, though as you say Fopp did bail them out and they went flopped pretty damn quickly. HMV bought Fopp about 18 months ago and they reopened so many stores, mainly in the big cities, the one in Manchester's usually quite busy whenever I visit.

Talking of adverts, I giggled at the Roy Walker/Churchill advert the other day, it was predictable, but I found it funny.

Just seen that as well. It offends me on so many levels.

Though perhaps a post watershed version could rotate a few choice phrases such as "I need a bab", and "I've got a turtlehead in my undercrackers...mum".
Good Lord!

Any excuse to see ones crush, I suppose.
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

I hate that Compare the fucking Meercat advert with a passion.

On the other hand, the Virgin one is fab.
