ON the odd occasion I travel to Blackburn, I feel I can use the shopping centre as a short cut. My passage through the centre can be quite daunting as I am confronted by people carrying large, bulging bags. I think these people are called "shoppers".

They are a menace to society and could give one a hefty whack with their bags if taunted. These "shoppers" should be moved on to somewhere like the Trafford Centre making life easier for the rest of us.
