you could go to a public place with a nice big tag around your neck saying 'please give me some attention, I will tell you about my problems with my bf in return'

One warning I'll give, would be to avoid Oxford Street, Bond Street and Regent Street. Its 'late night shopping' on Thursdays, which means every single twat in Central London decides to leave work early and wandering around shopping for 3 hours pissing off every single sales assistant in sight.
Erm, the tate has got some cool art stuff going on at the moment if you're into that. Pick up a copy of Time Out, that should be packed with ideas to keep you busy for 5 hours or so.

Dont be a retard, if we sell a phone that works, you wont be coming back to buy another one in 6 months time at an inflated price, while signing another 12 months of your life away on a £50 a month rental package.

Aha, but you would, because you're still tied in for another 6 months contract, and you'd expect us to help you out!
Anyway, thread hijack off.

Re: in london on thursday, course finishes at 16.15 and last train home at 21.30
Basically, if your phone gos wrong within the first 30 days of buying it, we'll exchange it there and then, no problem.
Beyond that time if your phone packs up, it gos away for repair. If its a manufacturers problem (ie, the phone just being shit) then it will be fixed. Beyond that, if there is any sign of liquid ingress (phone ever being wet, ever) or physical damage (droppage) the phone will not be fixed. If you took insurance (and we all know you didnt, because, hey, I'm very careful with my phone) then you could claim for a new one, on your insurance, if you didnt, here is what happens.
You're six months into your 12 month contract. You cant get out of the contract because the phone doesnt work. The original price we gave you on the phone was subject to a 12 month airtime agreement, which allows us to subsidise the cost of the phone a hell of a lot. Now, if you want to get another phone, you'll be paying £100+ on top of the standard contract RRP, as well as sigining another 12 month airtime agreement. No subsidies would be offered at all.

Mobile phone salesmen, pah
i enjoy going into your shops, sounding really interested, promising to come back, and never returning.

Do you work in a Vodafone shop? Which one? Is it the one on Oxford Street, and if so - is it next door to a Phones4U type shop?
edit : As for the original post, there's numerous things you can do. Cinemas showing movies not on general release in the rest of the country, theatres, museums, etc.

You mention the fact you work in a shit Vodafone shop dealing with wanky foriegners in Central London a lot, it stands to reason that it'd be on Oxford Street (voted about the 3rd worst street in London or something, after Streatham High Road - big shouts going out!).

For the bit about Streatham : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2270840.stm
http://www.themovechannel.com/sitefe...tember/27c.asp
Although I can't find any bit about Oxford Street, I heard it on Radio 4 some months ago though. It turns I was wrong though, Streatham is worst in the country
Myself, Tocatta & Fugue & SbOlly used to live at the top of Streatham Common, where we now live in West Norwood.

Yeah, but if you've dropped the phone, and theres a ****ing huge crack in the screen leaking that LCD stuff everywhere, or you've dropped the phone in a pint, its more likely be.
you: hi my phones broke
them: oh lets have alook
you: ....
them: hmm, theres a big crack in the screen
you: yes i dropped it
