Knock Twice: 25 modern folk tales for troubling times por Andrew Simms

Lots of stories varying from not-so-good to terrific. Well worth a read. I'm not sure that 'folk tales' is a good description - much better to attack this collection without that expectation.

I'm glad to see that there is a general trend to break the monopoly of Tesco, Walmart etc Waitrose now and will continue to match the top 1000 products using Tesco as a baseline, Let's hope that Sainsbury's when they wake up from their torpor will actually do the same, its certainly changed my view of supermarkets forever… (mais)
