IF ANYONE asks why I don’t shop in Blackburn town centre my answer is ‘why would I want to? All my needs are catered for at supermarkets with free parking’.

I might be in a minority group of people with simple needs as a man just turned 70, but I am sure there are more of you out there who think the same, or have I reached the Meldrew stage in my life?
