I can't compete with Q8 but I offer this.
1967.
Just started earning.
Live at Oakwood, Work at Euston.
Hear of brand new type of store - called Comet.
It's at Dagenham (excuse me WHERE?)
Only one in the country. But cheaper than anything else seen so far.
Christmas time.
Prezzies for the family.
Head out after work to this place called Dagenham (Where?)
Xmas shopping
New shaver for Dad
New hair dryer for Mum
Something for Sister (too long ago to remember that!)
Can't look at goods - they come in sealed boxes and there is no display area.
Try to pay by cheque (no debit cards then)
Cheque accepted BUT THEY TAKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPH.
Collect goods from collection area.
Back from this God-forsaken (!) hole called Dagenham.
(DON'T ask - I can't remember WHICH dagenham!)
Back home.
Xmas day: give presents - they all work (Phew!)
Everyone happy.
Happy Days!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you praising Comet Phil, or are you trying to get us to admire your quick thinking in getting Xmas presents for your family and collegues?
