Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
Just make sure it's Aspalls or Rekorderlig.

Aspalls is good, especially the organic, but Rekorderlig is just pop! Don't get me wrong, its refreshing on a hot day etc. but I tend to think of it more as a fruit based drink for the ladies 
EDIT: Its also 3 for £5 in Sainsbo's at the moment.
EDIT 2: Tesco have a fair few decent bottles at £1.50 each at the moment it seems.

I take back what I said about Henry Burton, after looking today, most items are labelled with a price in the window accept one of the bikes. As they can be anything from £50 to £6k, it would be great idea to label that.

Aspalls is my main drink especially the Premier Cru. Have you tried Rekorderlig Pear? It is a light drink, but very refreshing.Aspalls is good, especially the organic, but Rekorderlig is just pop!

They tend to do custom built bikes there, rather than selling 'off the peg' - give them the general idea about what you want it for, and how much you have to spend, and they build it up for you.I take back what I said about Henry Burton, after looking today, most items are labelled with a price in the window accept one of the bikes.

My guess is that the bike is in the window to remind people that they can actually buy whole bikes, rather than just bike bits, in there.

I'm not much of a pear drinker, prefer my apples, but gotta admit in hot weather it is very refreshing. Tonight I am currently drinking a savanna dry, while my old rascal chills

Saturday is 'quarter day' - where, in these super modern Dickensian times, many shops are required to pay 3 months rent - in advance - so expect a casualty or two Nationally ( shops that is )
The marvelously extortionate 'business rate tax' that all these - bar charity shops - premises have to pay is actually set in London by our friends in Government and the local authorities are hired to collect it
So - in conclusion - we ( 89% of us ) have access at some point to the internet - where shopping will take place in future
And therefore the internet will be seen as a way to tax us
Be it directly on purchases - unlikely - or via our subscriptions or some other devious means.
As we import almost everything we consume, and the world is a growing and more demanding consumer, expect double digit inflation in the next two to three years ( even the cars we export are imported first in raw materials )
Now, in the olden days, the way to tackle inflation was to put up interest rates - not any more though
Government will see inflation as a means to cut deficit and plunge us into despair and (relative ) poverty and keep interest rates low
Wage demands will increase in those sectors that still think they have some clout and the Ted Heath will appear on the news - quite a lot
To conclude - the rich get richer - the poor get poorer - grow your own

The Litten Tree is closing down on the 14th October - I'd like to say I'm happy since their customers used to wee up my shop but I'm not because my daughter works there.
also new shop opening up opposite Costa in town - something to do with photography.
