General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Thanks for the explanation, Tom. I don't really think bargains are what they're cracked up to be. Same as shops bragging about having a sale on. You might get something for a couple of quid cheaper, but it's not a bargain.

When I lived in Berlin my friend and I went to a really great 3/4 storey shop called Ka De We and there was a sale on. Bearing in mind we only used Deutsch Marks at the time but, in English money, if something was, say £5, you'd get it for something like 50/75p. Now that was a sale. Mind you, it was total madness and I only ever went the once. A fat German lady tried to grab a blouse out of my hand which wouldn't have fitted her anyway, but I grabbed it back. 'Twas such fun!
