The Shopping Forecast
And now for the Shopping
Forecast,
Issued by the Met Office
today.
They want to clear out their
sales goods,
And they think this is a good
way.
There are warnings of Sales
in these areas:
The bargains are quite
striking.
And to help with this new
ploy,
The manager’s dressed like a
Viking.
Depressing & occasionally
poor.
Increasing number of pound
shops,
And charity outlets at every
door.
Woolworths has long gone now,
And many shops have gone
silent.
After dark it gets much worse
-
Dangerous, occasionally
violent.
Somerfield and The Co-op –
moderate,
Though there’s not much in
the aisles.
Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury
Are out of town – five miles.
But small shops on the High
Street,
And others of such
propensity,
Then there’s Bejam and
Safeway,
Finally losing their
identity.
Lidl & Aldi – very
depressing,
But a bargain or two in the
process.
Backing up at the checkouts:
Expected to get better – I
guess.
Piles of goods – poor
visibility.
Bright coloured trolleys –
veering.
Unclear why they don’t fix
them,
And try to improve on the
steering.
Although there are local
variations,
Getting around there is
erratic.
It takes a Force 8 to push them,
Then you get to the checkout
- automatic
The general position in
Devizes:
Moderate or good – price
marking.
Bear, Pelican and Black Swan:
Market Place – not sure about
parking!
Corsham – fast foods &
some bargains,
Kebab shops – always
increasing.
Markets on Tuesday –
improving.
Discounts - never ceasing.
Prosperous and very
well-heeled.
Punters with more money than
sense,
Though some were born in a
field.
M4 motorway – veering west:
Bath & Bristol – always
enticing.
Wallet - slowly emptying.
At Iceland
Cribbs Causeway –
intimidating.
To get in there’s a big deal.
John Lewis, and Marks &
Spencer -
Credit card – beginning to
squeal.
So here is the general
Synopsis:
If you run out funds you must
borrow.
Depressingly the same I’m
afraid,
But improving – better
tomorrow.
