Question from an old bastard

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

I have quite a few Hollister tops, and I'm 41*. Sue me.

*But not fat.

I see it as my duty as another 41 year old to over wear there clothes until I bring down their brand!

At what age are you forbidden to buy stuff from O'Neil and Hollister?

Wandering back from the dentist, I deceided to pop in and have a look at the clothes in teh Churchill Square shop.

It looked very nice but I felt like I was being humoured when I asked in Hollister if they had any XL polo shirts (with the small albion logo on it). This fabulous looking young lady pointed me in the direction of the corner of the shop...AND IT WAS DARK!!! I couldnt read the labels and she had to help me out!

ONeil had nice stuff, but all the pictures up were young aussie beach bums!

Does any other old codgers on here get intimidated when going in these places?

Dave don't get intimidated, just take a torch. I am 58 and usually get some stuff in Fat Face better gear and better prices!

 

[Lush]

... just take a torch.

I am so doing that.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I am so doing that.

We should do an NSC flash(light) mob on their Churchill Square store!

I can't nobody has mentioned the smell, it's ridiculously over the top to spray that much cologne all over the shop!

 

[Lady Gull]

I find the smell in that shop nauseating - its almost like the pump it in the store to try and drug you into buying their overpriced shit!

Saying that I have bought a couple of hoodies and tee shirts for my son in there but its difficult to see in there - think its to stop you seeing the price!

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Would it be that they keep the shop dim so that you do not know the prices until you reach the Pay Point.

 

[The Rivet]

Store space:
ground floor, in total, Female clothes
1St Floor, half Childrens clothes and humourous 'gifts'
The rest: Mens wear..........potentially less that a 1/3rd of the overall floorspace


Maybe not the shop mentioned but, 90% of them big stores

I didn't know what Hollister was until I met a guy in Thailand with the shirt with a seagull on. Being me, I went up to have a chat with him to then find out what Hollister was and at the same time found out his girlfriend was a Palace fan.. Fairly embarrassing on my part.
I usually stick to Sports Direct, plenty of smart/casual gear at all sizes very well priced.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Don't worry being old,all these youngsters today,will one day if they're lucky,will be old themselves....then watch their views change...

Use to go out with a girl who use to work in hollister. Safe to say she was stuck up and thought she was some California model girl. She was attractive, but that was all she had. Didn't last long.

Not bad clothes, awful shop!

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I swear they play a practical joke by saying stuff from a dark corner and seeing how long it takes you to find where the noise came from..

 

[Brighton TID]

I've never been into this Hollister, but from what people are saying about the in your face, falsely friendly assistants and the dark atmos, it sounds like a version of hell but without the heat. When I die I do not want to go to Hollister

 

[SWCspider-man]

Try walking in and your met with:
Welcome to the pier.

Now for one it's a shop not a bloody pier, if it was a pier there would be rides, now if I walk in then and try to pay to get on one of the 'rides' I think Churchill sqaure might ban me

 

[Billy the Fish]

Shit shop for shit clothes. Went in there once and it was shit.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Shit shop for shit clothes. Went in there once and it was shit.

Perfect response

 

[Beach Hut]

Always seem to get a serious headache when in their as well

 

[acrossthepond]

As a Brighton fan you can buy Hollister at any age.

That's
The
Law

I'm the mature side of 40, and it works for me
