i went to see Sixty six today I really enjoyed it its a feel good film ,Its abou young boy who;s bahmitzvah falls on the same day that England make the workd cup final and all the planning and chaos that oes on ,Its a nice film and it made me happy inthat kind of way that makes you happy and sad and nostalgic .I was only 1 the year we won the world cup Jane would love it she was 13 cos she;s very very old and that was her era ,my era was the late 70s early 80s.It did raise a few questions though ,whatever happened to Fine fare and macfisheries .ad why did we move into supermarkets when high streets were so much nicer with individual shops

yes I belive
I may have heard something about that
the macfrisheries in winchester is a burger king now
Because sadly we (or most of us)want cheap food over good service.
I love shopping in small shops. And although I don't eat meat, I can only think of one actual butchers that isn't in a supermarket. Very sad.
The woman who used to work in our Macfisheries looked like a trout.
I believe the MacMarket workers wore orange?
Apologies for the essay.
we didn;t have macmarkets we just had macfisheries that sold everything
OO I just googled macfisheries and apparently its now Youngs frozen foods on to fine fare
and fine fare became Gateway ,became sommerfields and timothy whites were taken over by boots and now tesco owns the world :(
...although, talking of shops, i wish we had Piggly Wigglies over here. they sound like great places to shop.
..............and what's wrong with looking like a trout ???
I bet nancy mitford would have opened compatative ones called Non-u totems
"i wish we had Piggly Wigglies over here. they sound like great places to shop."
Clanky,
They aren't--the ones I've been in are dirty
we have piggly wigglies by me (i hate that name and the slogan, "shop the pig")
i prefer the local pick-n-save which is where i shop. however it has been called pick-your-nose by my kids and husband since they opened. so now we say... see you later, i am going to pick-your-nose.
I still prefer shopping in the local grocers. Its much more personal and you can have a good chat with the shopkeeper. Youre just another customer in a large supermarket!
Ok. But I still like the sound of shopping in a Piggly Wiggly better than shopping in Spar.
I like the sound of me being crushed under a steamroler better than shopping at the local spar.
