Sign of the times


It must be a sign of the times. I got a New Year's present from someone. Now that's not the sign of the times, although it's a bit unusual. What made it unusual was that it's a voucher to spend at a supermarket. Now five or even ten years ago, that would bascially have meant receiving a voucher to spend on vegetables, tins of baked beans or some cat food. But now, with the massive growth of supermarkets and what they sell, you can spend it on CD's, DVD's, clothes, MP3 players, sports equipment, mobile phones or even car insurance!

So, what would have been a really crap voucher a few years ago is, today, a really cracking little present. And that's where I'm headed today. I shall reveal my exciting purchase (bet you can't wait) tomorrow.

Smokin' !
