I hate shopping

I drove into Perpignan to test drive a car. As all the garages shut for lunch for two to three hours (I can never get used to these long lunch time closures) and it was pouring with rain, this necessitated a trip to the centre commercial and the unwelcome experience of shopping in Auchan, a vast hypermarket. I walked about 2 miles to buy half a dozen things. My advice? Shop local!
