Malls are particularly nightmarish around this time of year. When we were heading up to my parents on the 27th, we passed the motorway exit for Bluewater, the big mall in Kent, and realised the traffic jam we'd been stuck in was basically all people trying to take that exit and get to Bluewater for the post-Christmas sale. *shudders* My sisters-in-law and mother-in-law were actually planning to go along that day or the next for fun, too.
Oh and wtf Twilight (in general)? I recently discovered that it's now impossible to google any phrase with the word twilight in it because you just get Twilight stuff. They should have a special Boolean search indicator that means "no sparkly vampires".
(Oh, and Border's in the UK went bust like a month ago! The US chain had sold the UK chain on a couple of years ago, so that's how it happened. They did have an awesome manga section, although as ever with manga sections it was 50% just Bleach and Naruto)
