    As part of WH Smiths. In a tiny corner of the shop, from the looks of it. Hardly the giant warehouse of fun from my youth (along with Jolly Giant), so you can gawp at all the things your parents won’t buy you. We haven’t even got the Argos laminated book of dreams any more. Do kids not want this stuff any more? Do birthdays and Christmas now just consist of overpriced videogame outfits and the latest devices to watch noisy TikTok videos on?

    Smiths will be the Woolworths/Wilkos of the 2030’s. Yet another high street shop nobody goes in. The only part of them that could possibly be thriving is the airport shops where you can’t even go anywhere else.
