So endeth the lesson, from today's Happy Shopper.

It also makes rather a mockery, that some of our councillors would have us believe, who were given a million pound bung, in exchange for passing plans for a centrally located superstore, that siting a supermarket in a town centre has a positive knock-on effect for already existing businesses.

Just been on the news, Tesco's profits announced as being up to £3.89 billion, and that they have very nearly a 25% share of all UK sales.

Talking to the butchers in the Market Hall today, that's a slightly higher rise than their current profits.

Not much of the million pound planning bung left now.

Still, we have a bit of nice bunting fluttering from the Town Hall...as the tumbleweed blows past Accy's many empty shops.

Well done.
