Toys R Us

Do you remember the ad for this store, went something like ........

'Theres hundreds of 'Geoffrey's' all under one roof .......
Now was it really 'Geoffrey's' ? I listened many times and it sounds like no other option ...........

Geoffrey was a giraffe - I well remember them coming to Woking still here but I am not sure Geoffrey is still standing head and shoulders above the store. Will look next time I am in town.

Re: Toys R Us

Changing the subject slightly although still on the toy shop theme. I was in another large toy shop last week, not toys r us but one beginning and ending with S. I was looking for a sit on car or bike or something for a rapidly growing little boy. While looking at a small quad bike I was approached by a young sales assistant who asked me the age of the child. I replied "He is 11 months old" She looked at me and asked the amazing question " How old is that?"

Re: Toys R Us

Nothing surprises me these days, not a toy shop but a supermarket -have you got any butternut squash ? says I, whaat that then ? says the assistant. A customer over hearing pointed me in the right direction. At the till the cashier peered at my pak choi as if it was alien species and asked was it sprouts ?
