Why I wrote the book |
This book was written initially to put in writing Alastair's anger at the way small high street shops have slowly been eradicated from our communities by the major supermarkets and the way that shoppers are manipulated by their marketing departments. But once I dug deeper, I realised that maybe there are other agendas in play as well from other market players.
