Meanwhile

Meanwhile in India



Cool mornings , well 26 and scorchio in the day.

Mrs Pimms has adjusted back into the swing of things and is back into the social life on offer

You know , nails , feet and the S & M chai mornings all the laddies of leisure seem to enjoy

It does mean that that the cruel gym intructor has missed her this week and more than made up for this morning



Mr Blenders has also been busy, out earning the rps to pay for the saturday lunch @ Cocunut Palm.


Idli , onion massala dosa and mineral water for two and all in at about 300rps for lunch.

We are looking forward to these opening in our big mall next door

Mrs Pimms has been in and out of the place a few times now and the shop assistants recognise her already.
Shopping is very much the same as anywhere else with the same stuff on the shelf as you see in Marks & Spencers in the UK , yep we have a food court too but only unperishables at the moment. Still nice to have the treats for dinner now and again.



Shopping does take on a new experience , browsing for a few things in a place called lifestyle and picked up some stuff , personal assistant takes it from you to leave at the till , he comes back and everything you chose to purchase is whisked away to the till , even shows, demonstrates and goes to fetch other bits if you ask for differnt colours.
Goes to the check out with you and ensures everything is packed correctly.
Walking out you show your reciept to the guard and he checks everything is in order
Stamps , clips or tears your ticket and out you go.

Now , shoplifters I have never seen here yet but it nust happen and I am sure the trained eye gets a few of them
It estimated that shop crime in the UK in 2005 cost a total of £2.1bn and guess who pays for it ?
Yep, you guessed and it buys lots of mars bars , but at least they keep you thin by spending it for you .

I wonder what the India percentage is?
