The Big Stores of London
One of the features of London is the number of big stores, most of which are to be found in or near the West End. These stores are a mixture of tradition and modernity.
They developed in the nineteenth century; they maintain the dignity of that century, yet they are always ready to follow new trends.
The big stores of London are vast buildings, many storeys high, equipped with speedy lifts and escalators, with well-planned lighting, ventilation and heating.
Departments are carefully named; "Budget Dresses" are really cheap dresses - but no customer tikes tb be thought of as a "cheap" shopper. The same applies to "Ready-to-wear"; fyused to be used for the garments that were not made-to-measure, though now off-the-peg clothes are the rule rather than the exception. "Mother-to-be" or "Lady-in-Waiting" will often be found instead of the conventional "Maternity Wear". Then mere are newer words for the new trends in fashion - "Mix-and-Match", "Unisex", which are 'used alongside the more old-fashioned names: "Haberdashery", "Millinery"; "Gowns", and sometimes still the words derive from the French - "Mantles" for coats, "Layette" for baby-wear. Another feature of London's shopping life is the chain-stores, in which the goods are displayed on open counters. A wide variety of goods is offered - chiefly foodstuffs, household goods, clothing and stationery. These chain-stores have branches in most British towns of importance.
One very well-known firm of chemists has shops in many parts of London (and elsewhere); here you may buy not only medicines but also cosmetics and toilet supplies. Dairy firms have shops in various parts of London, too, and in these you; may buy not only dairy produce but also groceries, soap and household articles.
Most of the food stores, called supermarkets, operate oh the self-service system: you go in, pick up a basket, walk round the shop and choose what you want. At the exit there is a check-out point, a cash-desk where you pay: for all your goods together.
1. — What kind of shoes do you want, madam?
— I'd like walking shoes with a low heel. High heels are no good for country wear. You see I have rather small feet.
— Here is a pair about your size. Try them on. How are they?
— They are rather comfortable, but they are a little tight, will you show me another pair a size bigger, please?
— Certainly, madam. Will these do?
— They fit me very well, thank you.
— You are welcome.
2. — What would you like to buy, sir?
— I'm looking for a navy blue jacket, size 44.
— How do you like this jacket?
— Well, I like it. How much is it?
— Fifty-five pounds ninety-nine pence.
— Where must I pay?
— At the cash desk over there.
