I'm usually there about 5 and get the remnants of the soccer mums with the tribe in tow. I go with my kids...who've been home and redressed. They like shopping and choosing goods and checking them out. And the bonus is that kids recall where everything is!
Sometimes I go by myself around 7:30 on and yes...no hassles then.
Can I add another pet hate. Those entering the car park at 8:45 when shop shuts 9pm...really? I assume they don't let anyone in the the last 10mins so they can serve who is left. I may be wrong.
