Commercialism
I was in the largest Tesco in Scotland today (Silverburn), and yes, it was very big. Not quite big enough to cause clouds to form on the inside, but I’m sure it’s not going to be long before they build a store that size. It was nice to saunter around such an obvious bastion of commercialism and bathe in the warm glow of capitalism at work.
They had a wide selection of HD TV’s, all of which got the little money spender inside me jumping up and down. I managed to resist the urge, but seeing some of the demonstrations, the best of which were Sky HD and PGR3 on Xbox 360, made me giggle with joy. I’m pleased to say that at the moment having a positive bank balance makes me giggle with joy even more (although that electricity bill didn’t help) so I’m getting pretty good at controlling my spending. It’s been a while since I bought anything of any real consequence, so I’m hoping that my not inconsiderable debt will find itself whittled away over the next 12-18 months to something far more manageable. I look forward to being able to buy a house. And a big couch to go in it.
