Well then. TalkingRetail.com and Independent Retail News are moving house – to the glamorous streets of Croydon.
The spectre of Swanley is soon just to become a hazy memory, conjured only when I accidently smell the scent of a soggy ham and cream cheese sandwich.
Here’s a few of the more striking things from the last few months.
1. The crew from the Co-op’s sustainable fish sourcing boat trip on the Thames sneak off at dinnertime to get food supplies from … Tesco
2. A very drunk woman stumbles mechanically towards the stage at the Retail Industry Awards, being pulled by an invisible magnet towards her prize
3. Kirk Tanner magically reveals in a stereotypical American way – all smiles, TV haircut – that Walkers Monster Munch (the original ones) will be making a return (at a bizarre brands museum in Notting Hill)
4. I’m almost sick after eating the new massive Mr Kipling French Fancy too quickly
5. London shuts down after “snow” appears as if from nowhere overnight, meaning the spirit of Dickensian Britain returns for a few short transport-less hours
