Just one of the bits I enjoyed

One of the lowest blows used by the enemies of supermarkets is that old people, especially, feel frightened and alienated by them. This argument drives me mad: a) what an ignorant and condescending view of a generation who faced Hitler (a man who actually wanted to ban chain stores and give back the power to the small shopkeeper, fact fans!) and have more spirit in their little toes than we do in our entire scaredy-cat, food-intolerance-ridden bodies. And, b) they should get out a bit more, beyond the chi-chi "family concerns" they breathe the rarified air of, and see the very different looks of the faces of the old people I see shopping in my local pedestrianised parade of small shops and in my local big, beautiful Tesco. It's so sad to see them stumble from shop to shop in the teeming rain, weighed down under their shopping bags; so lovely to see them strolling in the warm, dry brightness of the supermarket, leaning on their trollies like they were leaning on the backyard walls of their younger days, blocking the aisles without a care as they bump into their similarly strolling friends and set up a gossip-station right there. Then home - to await a big strong man lugging all that heavy shopping for them at their convenience. Perfect.

I don't get a big strong man carrying my shopping for me at tescos... any offers? or shall I get the grey wig out
