Worst place to shop?
This is old news now but I wrote this last week and haven’t had a chance to get it online before now.

I read an article on The Independent’s website over the weekend, about terrible places in the UK to shop. Dudley, apparently, is the worst and London is the best place to go for retail therapy.

All Hallows Eve?
Evening ladies and gents.
It’s Halloween or Samhain for some people. Whether as a religious or secular occasion, it has been a few years since I gave much thought to it. I don’t celebrate either the religious festivals of All Hallows Eve etc., or Samhain. Nor am I a child so I find the whole trick or treat business a nuisance. I have dogs; random strangers knocking at the door upsets them.
