I'm bored of supermarkets. Of the assault on the senses and the amount of time it takes to battle through the onslaught of 'offers' to get what you want. This is how I feel at the thought of a 'Big Shop', as though I'd require super flying powers and dark glasses to survive it... ...... Continue Reading →
