I agree with Paul M and I have never enjoyed traipsing round shops, even as a child I hated being dragged round them.
"I used to love taking my Grandchildren for a treat .Aride on the bus then looking round the shops a little treat to eat then a bus home.Probably buying their Mother a gift ."
In reply to Sue, she might have enjoyed it maybe the children were not so happy, I would have smiled to the adult but silently cursed them, although I would have enjoyed the food
