ca_gere Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I worked for a few weeks at that horrible clothes store next to virgin. Not D2, the other one. Mix Active or something like that. I echo the annoying singing santa sentiment. I remember there being an amazing amount of 'gossip' amongst people who worked in the Bon Accord. Things like the woman who rented out the kiddy carts shagging one of the security guards in the toilets, that kind of thing - ahhh, those were the days.

Soda Jerk Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Pulp closed down too, but they closed down nationwide. Probably because nobody wants to buy Atticus t shirts for £50.Cult became Superdry because the Cult chain is owned by the people who make Superdry gear. They just dropped the Cult name.

Swingin' Ryan Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Most vague thread title ever.Anyone remember when Pizza hut was on Union Street and King Prawn played packed out venues?Haha, brilliant use of King Prawn reference.

Alan Cynic Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I don't remember those things, because I made a vow when the Bon Accord Centre opened not to go into the place. Sadly had to renege on that when my mum needed me to get stuff from there, so now I cut through it to get to George St when it's raining. I wish they'd never stopped the light show outside th Co-opie arcade, and the Christmas tree with the toy trains going round it in the station. Does the lift in the Academy Centre (near the new music shop) still tell you the floor in an Aberdeen accent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
