Mary Queen of Shops

Judging by these photographs our Premier seems to have that much time on his hands these days, that he can afford to go 'shopping' with Mary Portas.

Is it just a pipe dream that our high streets will ever return to how they once were, now that we have all become accustomed to carrying out all our shopping under one roof and out of the cold winds and rain?

It's almost like campaigning for the return of filling stations to how they once were.

Now that is not a bad idea, just sitting in the warmth of one's car while the filling attendant, puts in the petrol at 4 gallons for a pound, then checks one's oil and finally cleans the windscreen.

Well one can at least dream even if one has given up the pipe.

thanks for that, ichkeria & Ankou, I didn't know about the charity discount. I suppose it's better to have shops occupied by somebody than nobody.
