I love a good garden centre at Christmas too.

Oh I do like browsing in HMV too actually. It’s one of the few shops I can actually go in and not get a headache after 20 minutes.

When it comes to food-shopping, all shops have their purpose, and I imagine people of dual relative cultures know that more than most. On the one hand, you’ve got to do your Italian, Chinese or Afro-Caribbean shopping somewhere-else but you’ve also got to reckon with the more international/Western market for everything-else. You need both your plantain and your shredded wheat. Your bog-roll and your ogiri-egusi. Your yellow garri and your milk. So dipping in and out of different shops is just the done thing, how it is, automatically. What I’ll say for myself is that I’d rather go to anywhere but Tesco. Again, I find them a bit generic and bland, even-though perfectly fine otherwise. I don’t dislike Tesco but I’d rather choose one of the more unique, less overly commercialised shops.
