Synergy

Today I had reason to walk the full length of the high street in a nearby town. I was delighted to find that there were no less than THREE shops selling clothing for “significant” ladies, in other words, size16-30. I was delighted to find a pair of smart trousers in one of them, so felt the trip was very worthwhile.

As I walked back through the town, I began to notice that a large proportion of the retail outlets were cafes, restaurants or specialist food shops. There is a Dutch shop, a German bakery, a Vietnamese/French Bakery, a South African delicatessen, an Italian grocery/café/restaurant, three Turkish cafes, a Korean/Lebanese café (fusion gone freeky), as well as 15 Kiwi cafes, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Malay takeaways, an American burger joint, two pizza palaces and three pubs which sell pub food.

I now realise WHY there are three ladies outfitters for the overfed woman……….
