Greetings, I have just been considering the state of the rapidly growing sinister village when I realised that, unless I am mistaken, there is not yet a corner shop. I have tried in my own little way to promote the good old local store for many years by shopping in a small grocers shop as opposed to the large chain store stylee supermarkets. The sinister village could mark a turning point in the sorry tale of corner shops. The choice of stock would of course need much careful consideration , but I imagine no-one would protest to ample amounts of sherbet lemons, toasted tea cakes and large pots of birds eye custard. Rather than investing in trolleys, customers could be given wicker baskets with checked table cloths to cover their purchases with tus making the weekly shop an enjoyable experience. As much stock as possible would be stored in large glass jars behind the counter to increase its attractiveness and tempt shoppers into parting with cash. The possibilities for transforming the genre of supermarket music are endless. With all this food for thought I don't know how I'm going to get any work done today, but I will try, with my future as a sinister store manager as a very worthy incentive. au revoir mes amies Grace ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
