My Local Boilermakers!

This was mentioned in another thread but I believe it deserves its own discussion!

"If we made it, it isn't a boiler!" I absolutely love the store motto! I fell in love with it the instant I saw it above the door!

For those who don't know, it is a DVD Emporium that sells pretty much anything you want and ever wanted! Best customer service you will ever receive and you always leave with something AND a smile on your face! I bought 10 DVDs for about £25 which were all rip-off prices on Amazon.

Does anyone know the history of the store? Because i heard it was even older than HMV. They even didn't change their name as times went by. There is no point shopping anywhere else when you have a Boilermakers on your doorstep!

I'm a Brit born and bred. Is there anything wrong with that? I'm not to sure if the chain has gone international yet though.

Pounds are hell more expensive than dollars, and England is such a nice country, I like London very much, but I don't like that it's so heavy populated...

Not for me. You pay about $50 for a game when we would only pay £25. Yet our Pound is pretty much double your dollars value, I could go on a shopping spree and barely spend a weeks wage!

I work in London and for me its only 'heavy populated' of a morning and in the evening. I've walked around ona Saturday evening and found clogged streets bare! It also depends where you are in England whether it is nice or not!

BOILERMAKERS FTW!

Bush has messed up a beatiful America.

America is said to be 1st place on GDP, but seems as Bush wastes it too fast. By the way I live in the UAE, where the gas prices are rather cheap.

If you love hiking so much, why are you complaining about gas prices? Maybe its polluted because you drive every minute of everyday. Use a bike or a train!

Typical of Americans to have no knowledge of Geography. Where some bright colours and the hunters won't bother you? :D

It takes us to go up a mountain on a car on a normal road, with falling rocks (very , VERY rarely) about 20 minutes. We have to drive a 10 kilometer long road up and we feel newborn... aaah.... and no pollution at all. Fresh air and shit.

Where Steel Boots Ash!

Theres nothing like standing above a landscpe with no roads or buildings in site. Its more than I could ever ask for!

If you go down on a steep hill to the road on a 4 wheeler, you might feel you drive like light. 4 wheelers are even more dangerous than normal cars.
I always thought 4 wheeler means all wheels turn in the same position.

Sorry guys but Back on Topic:

Let's talk about Boilermakers! What deals have you experienced? Any stories.

That's great Ash, but really,
Let's get back to topic.

Not for me. You pay about $50 for a game when we would only pay £25. Yet our Pound is pretty much double your dollars value, I could go on a shopping spree and barely spend a weeks wage!

Lol lucky, yeah, In america you could barely get enough to survive on a week's wage, in England you get money worth twice as much as america's money and STILL can do that,
I am a bit Jealous lol... I hate America... I've always hated it, lol explains why I loved American Idiot so much

I wish that place was here... T_T sounds awesome...
BOILERMAKERS FTW!

we dont have boilermakers.... weve got gaymuthafucking con artist Inc basically... those stupid little cheap shits, they charge like 40 dollars for a god damn DVD... im like WTF WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD BY THIS?! U'D HAVE TO BE STUPID!!! then some lady walked up, picked a handful up and tossed them in her cart and then almost forgot to pay for them and I was like: I rest my case...

lucky English Peoples... I ISH JEALOUS OF YOUR AWESOME PRICES!!!
WHEN WE HAVE SHIT PRICES, SHIT MONEY, SHIT HOMES, SHIT CARS, SHIT EVERYTHING!

I loved it when the Transformers DVD came out. Only a month and a half after its release. 2-Disc Special Edition was only £7, then I had my "Frequent Boiling" Discount Card. That was heaven. I bought my surround sound there too!

I wouldn't be anywhere without it!

.... YOUR LUCKY AS HELL!!! 7 pounds?! thats 3.50 american... That thing would be 20, NO 30 dollars here!!! I HATE AMERICA!!!

oh really, whats the gas thing there?

ours is somsehting like 4.40 or so at the moment

Yeah but England isn't a hige wasteland like America. We don't need to drive everywhere to sustain our lives. Walking, biking and using the train are more than efficient ways to get around the country.

I spent most of my student loan in Boilermakers. I'm so glad they treat me right though, I don't feel cheated at all!

It is what the Government gives you to help pay for your further education.
