Please don't ask people to show their bus pass as evidence of identity, unless they are very obviously 75yrs + . I do understand that anyone over 50 can look ancient to someone in their twenties, but please err on the side of caution.

Wide selection of great vinyls, only went into HMV to have a little browse but ended up buying 7 vinyls to add to my already rapidly expanding collection. No complaints at all, the service was excellent and the staff was polite and respectful.
