I bought a book called Shopped the other week, about the rise of ths supermarket, and the effect it has had on British food culture, and British shopping life. I’m only fifty pages in, and already I’m swearing off shopping at places like Sainsbury’s and Asda ever again, although my Mum will be pleased to hear that Marks and Sparks gets off lightly (which also makes me feel rather better about my shopping habits).

Anyway, I just wanted to commend it to your attention.
