‘Mum-Jane, do we buy everything for us and our house locally?’
(‘Leemo Cat’ here!) I want to know ‘cos me and my buddies had a talk about this subject a er hearing & seeing all the stu saying “SHOP LOCAL”. SO, we made a ni y questionnaire to ascertain the shopping habits of our own humans. When our surveys are done, we will put them in an envelope and send them o to the ‘Shopping Research Unit’ at the Universidad de Morón in Morón City in Buenloeis Airles, Argentinneea; the results may be of great value in fact- nding ways to encourage everyone to shop local. So, Mum, let’s start with our own ‘Our House’ Survey: Are you settled? A cup of tea perhaps?’ (She scowled at me!) ‘Leems, just GET ON with it please!’ ‘OK THEN MUM, let’s start; you may answer YES or NO but nothing else, OK? A ‘YES’ is 5 points, and a ‘NO’ is ½ a point. Gottit?
Question 1. “Do you buy MY special dietary Vet recommended cat food from a local shop?’
Answer was NO = ½ point. Next: ‘do you buy ALL your local fruit & vegetables from a local kinda corner shop?
Answer was NO = ½ point. Next: ‘do you buy our meat & stu like that from a local stand-alone Butcher?
Answer was NO = ½ point. Next: ‘what about clothes & shoes & stu ?
Answer was ‘kinda 99%.’ (Ooooh, I just HAD to stop.) ‘Mum, I TOLD YOU the answers are either YES or NO so stick to the rules, OK?
Continuing: Next: ‘Do you go to local Hairdressers & Beauty Salons?’ Answer NO, ‘cos I’ve never gone to them in the rst place.’ (I muttered so ly to myself, ‘perhaps Mum, just perhaps you should consider doing so!’)
Next: ‘Do you buy your hair/skin & other health & body product stu locally? Answer was ‘Well, I ‘spose I do, but only if I see things on special & I don’t buy much of that stu anyhow.’ (OMG!) “Mum, it is a YES or it is a NO. Don’t DIVERGE from the script. I started on the next question but was told to STOP RIGHT THERE!
(Ooooh?!) ‘Leemo, you & your buddies might perhaps like to reevaluate the most inane questions in your totally hare-brained survey as I truly don’t get the point of it. Were you all just bored? Shopping Local, to me, means buying from shops in our town, be they ‘stand-alone’ shops or well known Supermarkets. I would never-ever for instance, go to the Gold Coast or Brisbane or well known Coastal towns, to simply SHOP! We have all we need here Leems, near where we live. Most everything I buy comes from shops owned or franchised by a local person, including Supermarkets. To me, this is called SHOPPING LOCAL; it provides jobs for local people and keeps our town’s economy moving, even through and a er di cult times. And YES, sometimes Leems I DO buy things things on-line, generally related to cost & availability locally. Do you comprehend what I’m trying to clarify for you? Go make up another Survey with your buddies, OK? Something along the lines of the PRICE OF CAT FOOD maybe?’ I am going to stare at grass now a er that most unsatisfactory interview & Mum’s appalling score rating. Nitey, Leemo.
