ASSOCIATION OF CONVENIENCE STORES

www.acs.org.uk



The ACS must hate The League Of Gentlemen. What could very possibly have become a popular cause, given widely held concerns about a potential Tescopoly on the high streets, they have instead been bumped down the list on Google by a murderous pair of pig nosed, pig suckling shopkeepers.

Most of the Advice section seems to be for ACS members only, although you can still access bits of it directly through the site map.

My favourite bits category advice pages. These are all brilliant:

Biscuits "In an average day, 19 million people consume a Biscuit"

Most of the category advice pages also have planograms that you can download. I LOVE planograms. I have no idea why.

The planogram for magazines is my favourite:



I like the assumption that anyone interested in transport or home entertainment magazines, will probably be quite interested in porn too.
