Feng shui and breathing and organic bread

[venta]

Attention East Oxford!

One of the empty shops upwind of The Magdalen Arms on Iffley Road seems to be turning into a real place again. Although it's still at the paint-pots and ladders stage presently, its very slightly uneven red lettering proclaims that it is soon to be a Global Deli. The fascia proudly announces it will sell:
Organic   Fair Trade   Local

Now, if we leave aside wondering how (b) and (c) correlate there - I'm not aware of systematic oppression and underpayment of Cotswold produce merchants, but maybe that's my ignorance - I think this sounds like a good thing. A global deli for local foodstuffs on my doorstep. Everyone should patronise it. Further reports from the field as and when it opens.

You've not been to Tesco's recently, then?

I'm starting to regret my "any misunderstanding for a cheap laugh" policy on LJ :)

Your fatal mistake was not to include a ";-)" or similar at the end of the sentence ;-) (see?)
