There was no cinnamon to be had for love nor money in this stretch of Battersea. It’s the last weekend for the Somerfield store and shopping there is quite hilarious. People stroll around like it is a post Armageddon experience, shaking their heads with bemusement at the empty shelves. “It’s like being in a pre-capitalist Russian supermarket,” a complete stranger said to me yesterday. And today half the shelves were completely bare – naked. In the spice section all there seemed to be were a few mixes to add to sausages to make a casserole and some jars of Tahini. Only 60p off those so still awaiting the final price drop. What a canny shopper I am!
