While listening to local radio I suddenly realised just how far the supermarket has taken over from the pub for more than just sales of alcohol.
More than once an organisation was located, or directions given, by saying ‘just near to’ one of the well known names – even if it is just one of the small ‘local’ versions.
They have become our landmarks & our signposts.
They are even finding their way into bus timetables as the recognised names for stops (except Tesco of course).
But its not as romantic as the Queen’s Head or the King’s Arms.
