Yo, I used to live in the Fountain and there was a little newsagent called Dina and they
00:06
had a video store in the back, this is how old I am, a video store in the back of the
00:10
newsagent and he had the rarest videos and DVDs and it was like this secret little cave
00:16
and it was right down the road from where I lived and it's gone now, it's gone for ages
00:19
so I do miss that and I miss the video store vibe, like we don't have that anymore obviously
00:25
it's all online and stuff but, oh gosh, yeah, British Home Store, Marks and Spencers, you
00:32
know, Adams's, no, Kitty Shop, you probably won't remember that, yeah, Chelsea Girl, do you
00:41
remember Chelsea Girl, I used to love Chelsea Girl, that's going like that, yeah, so yeah
00:45
I think some of the big chains, yeah, well, I don't really know, because you can come here
00:51

00:58
