I guess the store must have been pretty packed. Flatpacked no doubt.

Re: Store opening causes crush!!
I can remember a shoe warehouse having a sale starting at midnight in a West Thurrock industrial estate some years ago. We saw the advert in the local paper just after the sale was due to start and decided to go have a look. It was amazing the number of people there and it was difficult to park. Hamburger vans were doing a roaring trade though.

And the last Harry Potter book. We'd been out somewhere and called in to Tescos on the way home, it was almost midnight and there was this long line of weirdo's waiting to get the book

Re: Store opening causes crush!!
Are people really that desperate to get a bargain - or just plain greedy?
