A light-hearted look at Britain’s love affair with shopping Attracting 20 million people a year, Riverside is one of Britain’s best-loved shopping centres. This book takes a fond look at the weird, the funny, the sad and those who probably shouldn’t have been allowed out in the first place. From naked shoplifters and drunk Santas to the man who tried to ride the escalator in his wheelchair, in ten years working in Britain’s shopping malls, Gordon Browne saw it all. Sex, drugs and yes, even some rock ‘n’ roll, it’s all here.
