[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5373229, member: 9053"] That's sad to know. I was in there earlier this year, even. They were very nice folks, who helped me get a couple of very difficult to find items. The shop also had the absolute prettiest gamer-girl employee I have ever met. I remember going into there a few years ago and commenting on how RPGs seem to not have the same stigma attached to them as in the States. She-- and I wish I remember her name, since she was very nice and remembered me on a return visit 18 months later--said that in the UK, everyone has something odd about them, so you just sort of forgive little things like gaming. "If you don't have something that's just odd about you, people are likely to think you have something really bad about you, like half a dozen people locked up in your cellar or something." It made me laugh. Too bad. Forbidden Planet is pretty nice, however... they have a good stock of all things nerd related. --Steve [/QUOTE]
