I used to love WH Smiths. It was the ‘go to’ place for newspapers, magazines, books, stationery, cards, CDs & DVDs. They still sell most of those items but the shop is a cluttered mess of cardboard standees and piles of ‘special purchase’ items. For some reason, only half the lights seem to be switched on in this particular store making the place appear even more shabby. You have to fight your way to the tills via a corridor of further special offers from bottled water to sweets. It’s not even good value so it’s not a case of ‘pile it high, sell it cheap’. I only shop in here if I really have to. Awful.
