No Shredders in the City
My rather-too-cheap shredder failed a week ago and you’d think being close to the City of London, it would not be difficult to get a new and better one!
Wrong!
After a couple of abortive trips to the nearest PC World and Maplins, where they were out of stock, I decided to take the bull by the horns and go to Staples at Tottenham Hale.
In the end I chose one that just fitted in my large Tesco bag-for-life.
It also fitted the steps of the escalators on the Underground well and I could place it under the seat on one of the new Victoria line trains, so getting it back home wasn’t the hassle I thought it would be.
But why are there no shredders in the City?
The Anonymous Widower 
I tend to buy things like that on the Internet. There are usiually comments from otyhers who have bought to indicate the good from the not so good, and often the cost saving covers the shipping costs.

I use Internet shopping less here in London, as unless it’s someone like Dixons or IKEA, who hsndle their own deliveries, I can’t be sure to be in, if they turn up during the day. I also can go and see the goods in msny cases before I buy.
