It did make me remenisce though. Anyone remember as a kid looking trough the toys section ? I'm thinking late 70s/early 80s - looking at the electronic games like Missile Strike and Astro Wars. The big four lane Scalextrics, all of the Star Wars accessories and so on... and dreaming in the run up to Xmas ? Even up until recently, it would still be nice to flick through the pages when comparing items.
Always remember my Nan or Mom saying "The new Argos book is out, do you want me to get you one " Or you would go into the store and there would be a small bungalow's worth of books by the entrance and a gaggle of grannies helping themselves. Ahhhh.
Understandable but sad to see it go
...but, there is a website where you recapture those golden moments

Just lose yourself, as Eminem would say.
Oh yeah, and I did I mention that even Holly Willoughby is in there ? I won't say which section
it certainly does conjure up some memories for me from the 70's. Mostly looking at camping, fishing, tools and electronics at that time in my life. I was resident in the UK then.
