Next time you are in WH Smiths, don't stand in front of the magazine rack reading the damned things, either buy one and get out of the way or just get out of the way. It's a shop - you buy stuff - not a library - you borrow stuff. eRant over! ;-) I don't mind people having a quick look through - that's what I do to see if an article justifies the cost - but I object to people getting a free read and then leaving a "second hand" magazine for someone else to pay full price for. It's bloody dishonest in my opinion. I'd go so far as to say that it's almost like theft. I hate going in to WH Smiths to get a comic (Linux, Electronics, Science etc) because I can't get near the racks for a crowd of cheap skates reading the magazines in the aisles. Bloody irritating. My wife used to work in WH Smiths on a Saturday and her job was to wander around the store telling people to stop reading the magazines and either buy one or foff! <snip> Durham WH Smiths in the market place used to be terrible for that, on a Saturday morning there would be rows of people reading the magazines(probably while their other half was doing the shopping) Very annoying, I don't buy magazines at all now apart from the odd mini or classic car one. I remember my mate stating loudly "It's like a BLOODY library in here, cheapskates!" and he got some right mucky glares.
