Happy Birthday, Buttertubs!
by The Call of the Wendigo Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:45 pm
Thanks to my special powers, I know it's more or less Buttertubs' birthday, some time around now. And that it's a very special one!

Happy birthday. Remember 40 is the new 30.

I love how the first two genuinely look like charity shops.

I think I was totally unaware of the existence of Argos until the 1990s.

I on the other hand was aware of it from its inception, when the Green Shield place turned into it.

I don't think I went into one until I actually got a job there - working in the stockroom of the Shepherds Bush branch in 1989.
I still didn't really know how the shopping experience was supposed to work even though I was collecting the orders and putting them on the conveyor belt.
I got fired for showing a lack of enthusiasm.
In 1989.
