When I first moved to Brighton in 99 I worked at Virgin Megastore in CS for 3 years. Job was a bit crap but people were great, getting pissed up after work every day, laughing/grimacing/vomiting at some if the customers who came in . I enjoyed my time there.

Anyone else done their time in retail in Brighton?

Worked in retail for just over a year and have recently moved to the stockroom. Found it hard trying to sell clothing that I thought most of the time was terrible..

I worked in Topman part-time for about 18 months when I was at college. It was probably the most boring job I've had, spent most of the day standing around eagerly waiting for someone to put a shirt back in the wrong place so I could go and tidy up. It was quite good fun on a Sunday when the manager wasn't in, we used to make up games like firing security tags at each other across the shop floor using a crudely made catapult.

What year was that?

I worked in Topman for 3 years, along with Nibble and Les Biehn.

Some great times personally.

It would have been from Christmas 2000 to about spring 2002.

I think my I started in spring 2003.

Best place for pulling girls I have ever worked. Wonderful times, who needs university when you have a whole group of girls working upstairs.

Yeah socially it was great, had some fantastic nights out with the Topshop girls, most of them were ridiculously fit too.

I used to work late-night Thursdays and all-day Sundays, we barely had any customers so that's why I found it so boring!

I saw old, bigbabdabbleywags on tuesday at the game. Shes turned out a really nice girl.

Friday afternoons were great, without fail I'd find you and Les taking the piss out of anyone who was on there lunch

Shame the people we worked for were such massive helmets.

Gawd bless Virgin Megastore and all who sneered in her. Always loved the open contempt the staff showed for the popular music selection of the paying customer :lol:

We were massively sneering to some! I recall one member of staff being warned for calling a customer a word banned on here.

Ha, Friday afternoons were tremendous in there, hiding in the shoe cupboard avoiding work.
