Mention has been made somewhere else about local shops versus supermarkets and how it's cheaper in the long run (if using a vehicle) to shop locvally and pay a little bit extra. And this brought to mind when I was a mere lad and sent to do the shopping on a Saturday morning. Kitsons, the bread shop was the first port of call, then it was Armitages the Greengrocer, and Oldroyds newspaper shop to pay the paper bill. On to the Co-op, and that was a time trial in itself. It had seperate shops for groceries / butchers / fruit and veg / clothes and shoes / bakers / electric goods. And if they didn't have what you wanted - and you had to wait for the assistant to weigh everything out - then it meant going to either Melias or the Maypole. Proctors was the butcher until he short changed my Mum so we went elsewhere. If you didn't go to at least half a dozen different shops then you had't shopped at all !! Now it's all at Tesco
