Shopping.

Beginning to suffer a little from cabin fever so we went out shopping today. We chose to go to Bourne End remembering there was an antiques centre there which usually has a selection of old engineering tools only to find it had turned into another costa bloody coffee shop.

Now Helen is quite happy searching various supermarkets for 'reduced for quick sale' bargains to re stock the freezer or prodding round the odd clothes shop etc etc, and while one should not really generalise, this is probably typical of many of the fairer sex who can therefore get a retail fix any day of the week in any high street, but just what are us chaps supposed to do?

Nick,

This is where I can pass on some useful tips, adopt a Daughter. My Daughter now 29 in years organises the invalid scooter at all of the places that hire them then she and her mother disappear off to shop themselves silly whilst I stay at home and await the little extra presents that may come my way when they return.

I meant how are us chaps supposed to get a quick retail, or even window shopping fix now that the high street is devoid of so much as an interesting hardware store, let alone a good old fashioned antiques / junk shop?

These would be great to rejuvenate tired old magnetos - just clunk on onto the body!

Polarity wouldn't matter - it would swamp the existing!

Just make sure you have long arms to keep it away from your watch and pacemaker . . .
