  2. Impossible ! Do not get me wrong i dislike cloths shopping after about 40 minutes especially when they don't have my size or going anywhere near IKEA but old fasioned hardware shops , decent tool shop or going to a sawmill and buying wood is my cup of tea .
    There must be some type of shopping you enjoy ?? Books , car parts , tools .

    No. If I want or need something I simply want or need to just have it with the minimum of fuss. If I could click my fingers and there it was - happy days.

    Choice, the essence of shopping, is over-rated. I believe also known as consumerism. I just want a thing, not a waste of my time choosing.

  7. Completely agree if it's a no brainer for example a kettle or bedsheets but if you are buying something you have a genuine interest in like a new bike it's enjoyable checking all the models out and trying them for size etc . Surely something excites you to the point you would get off the sofa and go out and buy it with enthusiasm

    My last 3 buses I bought without bothering to view first.
    I hanker after a '62 fender jaguar to replace one I was diddled out of by someone I thought was a friend. I'd view that first if I found what looked to be a good genuine one.
    The last time I went to a shop to compare models was for studio monitors but they all sounded boxy in the shop compared to the ones I already have so I came home empty handed. I spent £500+ on headphones by research only. What can I say? I don't like shopping!

  9. Each to their own I suppose ! Hope the three buses were what you expected ? as there is no way I would buy an old bus without viewing unless they were giveaway prices .

    They all needed restoration - better than buying one you think doesn't only for it to fall apart later.

  11. I did wonder ! Agreed with you on that ! Buying a restored bus blind for top money is definitely not a good idea .
