The Big Stores I went into one of the big London stores today and enjoyed myself very much walking from one department to another looking at various articles on the counters. I thought the shop assistants were very helpful.There were hundreds of salesman and dozens of different departments. I went from one department to another — from umbrella to gloves, up and down, in lifts and on escalators. I was surprised to meet an old friend of mine whom I hadn’t met for years. We talked a little and then did som e shopping together. I helped her to buy some presents for her children. I was so glad to meet her again after twelve years and invited her to come to our place on Sunday.a kilo of potatoes a packet of teaa box of matchesa tube of toothpastea tin of sardinesa loaf of breada pound of buttera jar of honeya bag of sugara bottle of milk
