That is a good point and so true. I use the corner shop/grocer when I need to but sadley I do more often than not hit the local supermarket. There is that friendly personal touch at the local corner shop that you can never match at Asda Tesco Morrisons Sainsbury's etc. Maybe it could be seen as a damning inditement of what we have become ie slaves to big stores.
