They had a brilliant selection and he was a sarky bugger! <br /><br />He loved taking the piss out of students; in that friendly/aggresive/smartass way familiar from comic shops, indie record shops and arty cinemas. I used to wonder if guys who worked in those places were genetically engineered somewhere.David K Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756535951359716522noreply@blogger.com
