Just a pity that most of my holidays are in the UK where the prices are at the worst

. Shopping has always been much more attractive in the states though - I have always picked up a few things whenevr I have passed through. I remember my first actual day in the states back in 1994 was 2 for 1 post Thanksgiving Day sale at a huge mall in Miami - I got 2 sets of Nike's, 4 shirts, and the odd CD and computer game
