No yoghurt again at the Co-op?


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.

I’m not quite sure where the Swat team emanates from, but I noticed in the Co-op today not one but three copies of El País, which as we all know is a newspaper published in Spain.






Buenas tardes, amigos.
