"Baby son," I thought... more like grandson...
And then I checked. Gosh, there's more to the woman than meets the eye after all. Clearly I have less than zero interest in sources of 'celebrity' gossip. |
I did a Google search to find out who Mary Portas is, apparently she has appeared in a few television shows about shopping. Do not watch TV shows so another programme I won't be seeing.
I think street markets have lost customers to shops like Poundland and 99p stores. |
Am I the only person in the world who thinks that Mary does up fantastically interesting and eclectic, albeit unprofitable, shops that I'd love to have a poke around in, and cookie cuts them to a flashy, blingy, yuppie mold that oozes faux sexuality, and in which I'd not be seen dead?

I don't keep up with the music of today, but shouldn't that be Justin Timberlake?
If he has a musical brother, Jason, I stand corrected! :) dg writes. I stand corrected, ta. |
John - considering you don't watch TV you seem to forget that there is a world beyond TV!
Mary Portas, whatever you may think of her, had achieved more in retail by the age of 30 than most people do in a liftetime. |
Mickey's sweets? http://londondailyphoto.blogspot.co.uk/2006/09/dahn-roman.html was last time I saw(Mrs) Mickey - anything like the person there now? You were right, then

OK, so there was no Woolworths photo, but that was a packed hour of television. And all very carefully edited to suggest Mary had enabled a real change to Roman Road Market.
But anyone turning up to experience the reality this weekend may be disappointed. Apart from a couple of surviving street food stalls, the upgraded buzz shown in the programme is no longer there. |
Towards the end of the programme Mary was wearing an odd coat with one massively furry arm, made her look a bit like a fiddler crab.
|
Jeanette really wasn't open to change was she!
|
I think there was a shot of Woolworths because I remember thinking "good ol' Woolies"- sure I wasn't hallucinating DG.
|
That was Woolworths in Margate.
I have a photo of that too, obviously. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dgeezer/8450661449/ |
