I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet! The haven of cheap cd's on the high street is no more

I hate Fopp. Sell outs. Always thought of them as a pretty small niche sort of place then they moved to Union Street and just ruined things. Anyways I see they're saying the staff shouldn't expect to be paid! **** that I'd be breaking right into the store and getting my money's worth of CDs and DVDs

How can you hate Fopp, there was always a large selection of CD's at very reasonable prices - I'd easily spend £80 a go in there. Now MusicZone has closed we're stuck with HMV and Virgin

I didn't quite get to that length Matt, but during my ban it was my religion. In past Fopp pretty much EVERY Saturday!

I haven't used file sharing sites in years, I can't be arsed with the grief of constant viruses and pop ups. Plus I like to have the proper merchandise in my hand, hence my love for Fopp's £5 cd section.

Likewise - I'm no saint, but I'm quite proud of my cd collection and just hope this isn't the start of a new trend. I rarely buy cd's online, I like looking for bargains in town!

Hopefully there'll be corporate interest in the FOPP brand!
