The festive season is galloping towards us again. I do my own shopping but also take a couple of elderly relatives shopping.
As a general rule I don't like buying off the internet unless it's a site I know. Then there is the pain of waiting for a delivery and the item being nothing like the picture and having to go through the hassle of returning it and getting a refund.
I absolutely hate going into the nearest city. It is too spread out with lots of big gaps (empty shops) and insufficient, overpriced parking. I will visit out of town small retail parks but my favourite places are a couple of small towns nearby. Free or very reasonable parking very close to the shops, independent shops rather than the big chains and even a proper market.
Where do you shop? Why?
