IT REALLY is amazing that your local supermarket can read from the till what your buying habits are. And so build that in to their future strategy.

It really is amazing that my local council can insert a survey about ‘The Future of Fairford’ as part of a Neighbourhood Plan in a less than avidly-read town council newsletter to 1,400 households and think they can deduce anything from the 177 responses. That 1,223 of them didn’t reply seems insignificant.

I doubt a supermarket would think that way. Or any other entity interested in growth.

Not sure our town council is – rather more keen on preserving the past than having a vision for the future.

Oddly, I can’t find aspic on our supermarket shelves. I will have to make my own. You take one head of a councillor – simmer for... Well I don’t think the survey results are a recipe for success.
