Shop 1: Oh, look at the the lovely things they have! Not a bad price. I won’t get anything now, bound to see something better in another shop. I’ll come back later.
Shop 2: Dad wanted that book but I think it was cheaper in Sainsbury’s. Remind me to pop in there on the way home.
Shop 6: Yeah, get that jumper, it’s not really what she wants but keep the receipt and she can change it after Christmas.
Shop 10: I’m knackered and my feet are killing me, can we get a coffee?
Coffee shop: Right, a cappuccino and a cinnamon bun for me. No, two cinnamon buns.
Shop 15: I haven’t got any of the things on my list. That perfume. I don’t care what it costs, just buy it. In fact, get everyone the same. Even grandad.
Shop 17: Ten £20 vouchers please.
Shop 20: No, I’m fine lying here, just step over me. Next Christmas it’s all coming from Amazon.
