I used to love Foyles, back in the 80s. Their filing system was famously chaotic but the wonderful staff could always find a particular book, somehow.
A major competitor expanded and Dillons was a stunning and huge book store, just around the corner. It was a delightful place to shop for books. When they launched they put a bus-stop ad right outside Foyles which read, "Foyled again? Try Dillons."
Somewhere I have one of their plastic shopping bags with that exact phrase.
Dillons changed hands several times and was eventually folded into Waterstones.
Enjoy the magic of Foyles!

Even in 1994 this was anachronistic

Funny they don't mention that in the shop's display about its history 😆"famously eccentric Christina Foyle ...regularly dismissing staff after a year....Perversely, it was partly because the shop was so badly run that it seemed to charm its customers." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45446899

So excited to have made it into the Christmas window at #Foyles!
