Shopping locally

I can't imagine ever going to Smyths in Bray again. That big, new store in Carrickmines is just as close to me in time and it has a nice, big, FREE parking lot. And, I can indulge my weakness for computer supplies at PC World.

The new Woodies in Bray is another matter entirely. I'm not a huge fan of Woodies as it is, but I don't know what they were thinking when they designed their parking lot. There isn't enough room between the rows of parked cars. There will be many minor accidents with people backing into the car behind them. Fortunately, I doubt it will ever be packed there, but if it is it'll be a mess.
