Retired Not Out, Paul Chappell's Journal

Posts About Shopping

I’m not a great fan of shopping, especially these days. It’s hard to find a shop that stocks what you want, especially clothes. These days, people tend to shop online: you buy something, have it delivered, check it out, and return it if it’s unsuitable.

This works well for things like books and DVD’s, especially if you have an Amazon Prime Subscription.

It doesn’t work so well with clothes. It’s much better to buy them in a shop, where you can easily get the look and feel of an item and, more importantly, see if it fits you.

The following posts are about shopping.
