We know that politicians love to put in restrictions to 'protect' us and never take them out in case a single case (even unrelated) can be picked up by the press.
I am constantly amazed that the expensive shops make any money. Their prices are crazy but they seem to have crazy customers. I cheerfully ignore all shopping on my way through. Sometimes a small chemist item or Ms PAXgirl thinks she needs something. It's her money and I see it as an easy way to collect more points!
