    Honestly I go in to look at manly things like switches and tools and Ste whips out his camera and starts taking photos.

    Was quite amusing though but the shop staff were giving him very strange looks

    A real gem would have been pictures of the staff giving him strange looks. Only if you did that you'd probably be on their little sheet of people who aren't welcome in the store any more...
