I -more against my own free will, than by choice- go shopping too much. I went out to the local big shopping arcades and it was packed! and it wasn't even raining the sun was shining yet people still feel tempted in these hard economic times to go and look at items that they probably wont be able to own and some that they aren't even interested in. i do seriously think though that anyone going for a shop should ask themselves are the items that i am going out to get of any use to me and are these items at all important.
Marketing and the media play a massive part in this countries love of shopping because as we don't have the weather of Spain or France we Brits on the whole spend our time eating watching telly or going shopping. The big companies know this and so exploit shoppers willingness to be guided and tell them that it is vital they buy a morph suit for them their Nan and their cat.
I guess a the weather does restrict us somewhat in terms of out door activities we can do however i don't think shopping should be used as a day filler.
Go Shop till you fucking drop but don't do it if it aint necessary :)
