Buying is much more British than thinking or tea and crumpets. The land of Shakespeare and the Beatles, Churchill and the Queen. Rolling green hills, London shops, McDonalds, hip plaids splashed over raincoats and umbrellas? Is it? No we like to buy stuff. It used to be more about trading and bartering but now we just want to have things.  We have gone from Buy and Sell, Sell and Buy to just Buy. In fact we are no longer interested in selling (unless it is property), we would rather throw out. Money must now be at its evolutionary peak, surely. 

Saturday is still the big buying day although Sunday is catching up, “Shopping Day”. I hate it and love it. If in the right mood and the weather is correct then I love it.

Shoes and underwear. 

I think buying underwear and shoes is the most personal thing you can do, and watching a person buying underwear would be the best way to get to know someone. As Warhol siad “I would rather watch somebody buy their underwear than read a book they wrote” which is interesting. I find it strange buying underwear for other people though.

Three days till Shopping Day but I like it when there are no crowds – empty shops – first thing on a weekday. I need new shoes and I can always do with new underwear.
