A trip out to Romford for buying presents both for myself and for others, and a place I haven't been to in ages. I've never really done well there when it comes to junk hunting and this is no exception. Took my mum and dad along via Crossrail, and I got new slippers and the latest Reacher novel for xmas.
Managed to pick up a top for mum and the latest Richard Osman novel for Dad. Which means my Xmas shopping is almost done.
I also got what must be the worst CD imaginable, some sort of holiday camp mascot sing along.
Reminding me a bit of Kanye West by the artwork, the tracks themselves are pure pub singer kiddy song fare, with Dream Squirrel being a kind of homage to Seasons in the Sun by Terry Nation Jacks. Kinda wish Darryl Bullock was still alive from Worlds Worst Records. I'm sure he'd have lapped this up, it's that awful.
On the other hand I managed to get the Meaning of Love / Oberkorn from Depeche Mode which I'd been after for ages as the only one I've seen was sleeve only at a bootsale.
Finally a round up of nutters. Including a pensioner dressed as an elf which I'm sure was from the Santa's Grotto. A tramp necking a bottle of wine direct from a Sainsbury's bag, assorted God botherers and the Sally Army bloke who looked like the NAFO Dog in uniform.
The cream of the crop was some nutty bird on the train, who reckoned a woman was following her... in a nappy. The finisher, she had HIV. The best thing was, is that she was entirely alone. No one was following her, at all.

EDIT. I also found this Disney Weedle. Which turns out to be a plush of Lucifer from Cinderella. No me neither.
