Victoria's square deal for a £2,500 handbag
from belfast telegraph
So, the long wait is over at last and to great hype, as well as assorted oohs and aahs from members of Belfast's new glitterati (yeuch), Victoria Square has finally opened for business.
We now have the following 'shops' at our disposal:
- A large English based department store whose main boast seems to be the fact that they have the largest selection of 'designer' handbags costing hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of pounds.
- Another three mobile phone shops to go with the existing 11 that we already have in the Royal Avenue/Donegall Place area alone.
- Yet another baseball cap/trainer shop.
- Numerous designer clothes shops selling £50 T-shirts to young people too stupid and peer-pressured to know any better.
- A teddy bear shop - just in case the people of Belfast haven't got enough dust gatherers in their homes already.
Apparently, one of the handbags on sale costs £2,500. What kind of vain and stupid person would pay £2,500 for a handbag? More importantly, perhaps someone could explain to me why Belfast is somehow better off by the fact that we have a centre selling such items. All this has left me with a strange sense of nostalgia for 1970s Belfast. Ok, things may have been a bit grim and we didn't have very many shops, but at least those we did have sold things that the average person wanted to buy and was able to afford. So, come back Woolworths, LeisureWorld (now that was a toyshop), Anderson & McAuleys, C&A etc - all is forgiven!
