The Browns Go Shopping The other day my wife took me on a usual shopping round. In fact I hate going to the butcher's, grocer's and other shops of this sort but of course I have to help my wife about the house. First we bought some pork and beef at the butcher's. Then we dropped in at the grocery and greengrocery. Jane wanted to buy sugar, salt, tomatoes and cucumbers. We also called at the baker's where we bought a loaf of rye bread, some buns and biscuits. On our way home we were passing "Marks & Spencer". "Let's drop in here for a while. You need a suit for everyday wear", my wife said. I agreed. Marks & Spencer is one of the biggest and most popular stores in London. They sell everything here. The store has several departments: women's clothes, men's clothes, shoes, toys, sports goods, umbrellas, leather goods, china and glass, food and so on. When we entered the shop we went straight to the men's department. A salesgirl showed us a number of suits, but we didn't like any of them. One of them was a bit loose on me, another was too tight. As to the third, our opinions were quite different. I liked the suit. My wife found it too expensive. She wanted a suit as good as that one but less expensive. The salesgirl showed us a cheaper one. It was of good quality but I didn't like the style. We were about to leave the department when they delivered a new selection of goods. They were not only suits but also raincoats, shirts, jackets and trousers. I tried on two or three suits. The last was all right. It was just my size and fitted me perfectly. We both liked the suit and the price was not high. "We'll take it. Wrap it up, please," I said to the salesgirl. After we left the men's department, my wife spent the rest of the morning trying on hats. She wanted a pink straw hat to match one of her summer frocks. There was such a good selection of hats in the shop that at the end Jane bought two.
