The prospect of Sir Morrisons being closed for two whole days has galvanised tout Palmers Green into a last moment shopping frenzy. Huttonian to beat the rush and in search of two newspapers entered the portals at 0830 hours to be greeted by an anxious young Morrisonian with a tin of festive toffees. 'You are very welcome' she said through toffee stained teeth 'to view our products and make a choice but you cannot pay until ten o'clock' The store was apparently technically open but only it seemed for cashless browsers. I pondered the attractive prospect of choosing a product and admiring it until the checkout ladies arrived 90 minutes later but decided that life had more to offer even in Palmers Green on Christmas Eve. So I thanked the tin bearing Morrisonian for her nice thought said I would return when the store was open open (as opposed to just open) and turned to leave.She smiled understandingly and offered 'have a nice day'.
Bu
t not a toffee.
