James Broonbreed Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 The worst book shop in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) What is the zaavi/virgin unit nowadays?The old games section is a bookshop filled with books that are largely to do with either Scottish history or biographies of Scottish footballers, the main shop is a Pound Shop filled with tat that even a pound seems an excessive price for.

ca_gere Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Jesus, that's grim. Does noone 'go shopping' any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cool Thinker Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 What is the zaavi/virgin unit nowadays? Helo ca_gere, As Monster Zero points out the main unit is occupied by a pound shop named "Pound Shop" and it sells junk that is rubbish. The little unit is now a cheap bookshop called "Bargain Books".

Guest Cool Thinker Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Jesus, that's grim. Does noone 'go shopping' any more? Hello ca_gere, I have a proposition you could move back to Aberdeen and become Cool Thinker in exchange for your life in New York City. Have a think about it.

Guest Cool Thinker Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Tesco are now hiring for their new Tesco Express store on Great Northern Road next door to Poundstretcher. Morrisons are to open an M Local store in Aberdeen most likely to be located in a former Blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cool Thinker Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Not so local but there is plans to open a Hard Rock Cafe in Glasgow at the top of Buchanan Street next to Forever 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Jesus, that's grim. Does noone 'go shopping' any more?Union Street is grim. Any shop that closes down seems to be replaced by a betting shop or money lending place. It seems to be a pattern in most cities just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've noticed HMV have stocked vinyl of certain new releases, CT, do you know if they plan to start selling vinyl in Aberdeen again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckula Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) HMV have a full vinyl section upstairs now. It seems to fly off the shelves when they get new stock in. Seems to be a mixture of stock classics (AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Beatles etc.) and new releases. https://twitter.com/HMVaberdeen/status/357832986235899904 - Some of their stock put out today.

Soda Jerk Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Has it been mentioned that Jewsters has closed down? Used to get a BLT from there once a week. Pretty much a whole pack of bacon on it each time. Humongous. Sad times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a whole pack of bacon on it each time. Humongous. Sad times. Hello Joda Serk, I had noticed that it had closed but forgot to mention it on this forum. I have been less observant of places changing due to me being bored of Aberdeen City Centre I have went through it too many times, so now I just go to the cinema. I have highlighted "Used" due to it most likely being one of the reasons that it closed the other being that a Greggs has opened just down the hill.

You go to Greggs - you're thoughts are clearly not cool. Also, your occasional signature is pretty annoying. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
