i "accidentally" dropped a few mangas from a shelf and the old grumpy guy working there (maybe he…read moreowns there i dunno) got triggered in miliseconds and gave me this blood freezing look, this is perfectly normal until this point, this is a comic store anyway, i'm used to weird and triggered comic store owners, visited lots of them around the world and it's exactly the same everywhere. whatever, i apologized "in german" and kneeled down to get them, when i stood up, he was already showing me a damaged corner of a thin manga with a very sturdy hard cover, i was shocked since there was no way that damage could've happened with a gentle fall, it was literally torn. i don't want to judge but i felt kinda scammed because i'm not even sure if it was one of the ones dropped to the floor (cause i took them off the ground) i asked "did it just happen?" and he replied "yes". my wife asked if we should pay for it and after a moment of silence, he got this look "as if he forgave us for all the sins" and replied "no but he should at least say he's sorry", i told him i already did, "even in german" i added. "no he didn't" he said, still strangely ignoring me and talking to my wife. "yes he did" my wife interrupted. after this he did not reply and gave us this silent treatment, we felt irritated and just put down the 40€ "one piece" action figure (which you can find online for 25€ btw) we were about to buy, clearly stated that we do so because of this strange attitude and we left the store. it was the most annoying experience i've ever had in a comic store. this guy "has to" be aware of the fact that not all of the customers are 20 year old green haired teenagers in cosplay he throws this attitude at on a daily basis. i'm an adult and i won't give my hard earned cash to an old grumpy man who doesn't know how to communicate with a customer. now thinking of it all, i felt kinda sad for the guy, maybe he was having a bad day because the first moment i got in the store, i felt something was wrong with him. he was acting like he hates his job while putting everything the cosplay kids there picked up to where they belong. but frankly, i freaking don't care if he is. because nevertheless, it's totally unprofessional. the other employee (young woman) was very kind and helpful tho.

Basically, a British corner shop removed from any small town in the UK and transplanted into…read moreHamburg. Pretty bloody essential, as one could go mad here having to drink German 'tea'. You can also pick up most of the ingredients for a full English breakfast, real crisps, and....wait for it... bitter! Yes indeed, for a paltry EUR3.60 you can savour a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculiar, a Tim Taylor's Landlord, or a Moorhouses' Old Speckled Hen. Makes living in Germany seem not half as bad really...

There's nothing like it anywhere in Hamburg: Robert Berridge's used bookshop selling only English…read morebooks. Mr. Berridge himself reminds me of a hobbit, and if hobbits were capable of living in complete chaos, they'd feel right at home in this shop. Overfilled, dusty and musty, the cheap (and mostly dangerously leaning) shelves are packed in no particular order with used books in English, in wildly varying states of decomposition. However, despite the haphazard state of his shelves, Mr. Berridge has surprised me time and time again by laying his hand on the book I'm looking for within seconds. If the shop were slightly cleaner and more organised, it'd get a five, but it's simply the only place to go for a large selection in Hamburg, so a three will have to do. As for the attached "English Foods" shop, I can't really judge. I've never been impressed enough with English cuisine to bother going in it, but I guess it'd be a comfort for poms over from the island.
