Police Officers were yesterday involved in an afternoon raid on a shop in Fulchester’s largest shopping centre. The shop in question, Game’s Boutique, was entered after an anonymous tip from a local resident who complained that the smell from the shop suggested that a dead body was decomposing in the store.
Police entered the shop shortly before 5pm and ordered the manager to close early as a complete search of the store was made. Red faced officers were then seen to leave at 6.12pm after the origin of the odour was found to be coming from 22 year employee Wayne Mong. PC Peter Dibble issued the following statement on behalf of the officers involved: “Officers were alerted by the suspicions of a member of the public who had visited the store on Monday morning. He had noticed a particularly rancid odour inside the shop and put two and two together and got five. We acted quickly and searched the store. Unfortunately the awful ming was found to be originating from a young shop assistant and so we were forced to finish the investigation.”
Environmental Health officers were called to the scene later that evening and, after checks were made, the management were instructed they could re-open the next day on condition that the shop was aired thoroughly overnight and that Mr Mong underwent a thorough wash and changed his clothes.
Disgruntled part-time employee, Mr Mong, a University student, was unhappy with the way he was treated. “OK, I’ve been a bit skint lately so I haven’t been able to wash my clothes but I have been using a lot of deodorant. We had a party at our house a couple of weeks ago and someone threw up in the bath. I’m not cleaning it up and no one else will so I can’t have a bath either. This is discrimination against the odourly challenged. I’ve yet to decide whether I am going to take legal action. Mind you, they’ve suspended me until I wash my undies and have a shower so I am too skint to hire a solicitor. I don’t know what I am going to do.”
Local shoppers we spoke to were outraged. One local man told us “That shop always stinks. I went in once. Never again. It made my eyes water.” Another elderly gentleman also had an opinion “You wouldn’t have got away with that in my day. During National Service you had to have a thorough wash every morning under the cold tap. It made a man of you. These youngsters today with their bloody electronic gizmos and all that malarkey. I don’t know. Bring back the birch, that’s what I say…..”

There's a Games Workshop down a disused shopping street in Southampton. I've been in there once, and it absolutely reeked. It was full of nerdy middle aged men playing with plastic figurines. Imagine Stryke in ten years time... lol. :D

The only smell ive ever beared witness to in a warhammer shop is paint, no wonder the staff are so chirpy, they are high on the paint fumes.
