Bad news for the village (pop. 5314 at the last Census.) The local Co-op has had a visit from the (wait for it, and listen in reverential silence) Area Manager and the staff are all of a flutter. The Spar across the road is rubbing its little hands with glee, because the last time the Swat Team from HQ turned up at the Co-op Spar’s business increased dramatically, and it’s taken the Co-op, whose staff are local and very knowledgeable indeed about the sort of stuff villagers buy, a couple of years to woo customers back by stocking such exotic luxuries as plain yoghurt and Marigolds, in blatant defiance of Regulations.
Buenas tardes, amigos.
