home delivery isnt always convenient, and returns a faff. Argos has a slick backend operation that adjusted well to online, having physical stores is a model online are going towards.

It'll be mostly missed in Norfolk, all those locals won't have a clue what to use their fingers for

My "adult" son is distraught. It was his go to mag when younger, poor lad, certainly wasn't mine at his age!!!

 

[jamie (not that one)]

I used to love the catalogue as a kid. No idea why.

I'm surprised it has survived this long to be fair.

Has your "Go to mag " Rebranded as "Pornhub" ?

Asking for a friend.

Back to Argus - My Dad will hate that. He hates dealing with shop assistants and can't use the internet.

Looking at a book and filling in a form was the perfect shopping method for him.

Footnote -. He doesn't seem to mind the Shop Assistants at the Horse Shoe Bar in Uddinston though

Wasn’t the Index a rival back in the day?

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

There was a point where it was the most read book in britain.read more than the Bible or Qur'an apperantly.

 

[marlowe]

The 1975 Autumn/Winter edition was always one of my favourites...

I used t write my Christmas lists from the argos catalogue and fill out the little slips for santa.

It didnt work to be honest, I dont think he wanted kids to know how much he spent maybe
