Re: Getting lost in a big shop

Debenhams in Manchester always seems an effort to find my way round, the menswear section has a very confusing layout.

The Arndale Centre used to be tricky to get round, but the new wing joins up 2 sections to it's much easier to navigate.

i can remmember going into tescos in wakefield as a 5 year old lad,dying to get to the toy section where id lovingly stare at all the matchbox cars for 65p each-more times than none id still be standing there in a daze looking at them and my mum and dad would have wandered off-they soon came back for me though when they realised where id be

I was with my Dad at a shopping mall and got lost so I found a mall cop who was driving by in his electric golf cart and told him I was lost. So he tells me to hop on the golf cart and we'll go find my parents. And as we were riding along on our way to the security office I spotted my Dad in the crowd and then jumped off and rejoined him as if nothing happened. My Dad didn't even know that I got lost.

Not so much lost but I fell down an escalator in Shepherds (probably a Debenhams or similar now) department store around the late 60's when I was about eight in Newcastle. I was playing on the escalator having wondered off whilst my grandmother was at the till buying something

Re: Getting lost in a big shop

No idea how old I was, but I remember standing next to my Nan and seeing by parents way over at the other side of a store getting further and further away, but I thought it's OK my Nan is with me - I could see her from the corner of my eye.

Then I turned to say something to her and found it was a shop dummy.

I legged it over to them just as my folks were starting to get worried!

The third floor was all you needed to know. Toys! I always knew exactly how to get there. It looks tiny now but I believe it was actually a bit bigger back then.
