Wow. More places for us all to spend our money. Whoop - a - cocking - doo.
Here's a thought. Instead of diriving to Silverburn, take a detour to Pollok Park first, have a wee walk around, pause and look a the trees and the ducks and the rest. Then think about whether that new whatever that you were so keen to buy is that important after all.
If that fails, feel free to go and
[quote]park easily and be inspired by the shops and restaurants[/quote]
Jesus wept.

Nothing up with the £60 pair of jeans if you can afford em, however, Pete is spot on with his assessment, you could see these shopping centres as forbidden fruit, much like drinking and gambling and drug taking and going with dirty women, any addiction can seriously be detremental to your health and well-being, so like everything else, moderation is the key to having a happy life and a life thats free of addiction.
Look at the ex-copper burd from not too long ago in this very paper who blew as much as £50,000, maybe it was more - serious rehab material.

Hey! I didn't say anything about drinking and going with dirty women.
A man's got to have some hobbies after all...

In a recent survey, 24,508% of British males aged 134-4987 said that they preferred free parking to going with dirty women. Think on't.
(Meep was an exception).

what a load of Communists - see that plan worked out in Russia!!
It's called keeping ahead of the markets...unless you would rather live in a non-democratic state. Plenty of them so you can always emigrate...
