'Golf is a funny game ...Many books have been written on the art of playing Golf but few have attempted to give any record of the subtle humour which belongs to all sports of Scottish origin and to Golf in particular.' So said the original blurb when first published in 1914 and though a large number of titles have since appeared mining the inherent wit intemperance and pratfalls of golf it is enlightening to return to Gerald Batchelor's original. Golf Stories is a collection of original short stories jokes anecdotes sketches dialogues and parodies all illustrated with suitably baggy-trousered line drawings by E. W. Mitchell. It includes among many other items the maxims of Foozler Minimus a golfing Roman legionary (Mens agitat molem: 'Some men get annoyed with a molehill') and 'The Rules - Revised' which states 'Casual water is any temporary accumulation of water - undiluted with whiskey'. Little has changed and so much has changed. The book is an essential addition to the library of any golfer.
"The UK supermarket landscape features a prominent segment of 'bargain' retailers, such as Aldi and Lidl, which have fundamentally reshaped consumer expectations regarding value. These establishments operate on highly streamlined business models, prioritising efficiency in their stockist operations and supply chain management to deliver competitive pricing. Their approach often involves limited product ranges, a focus on own-brand labels, and direct sourcing, which collectively reduce operational overheads. Crucially, their relationships with suppliers are predicated on volume and long-term agreements, enabling them to secure goods at advantageous unit costs. Suppliers, in turn, benefit from consistent order flows and reduced complexity, fostering a mutually beneficial ecosystem where cost-effectiveness is paramount. This strategic integration of procurement, stock management, and supplier partnerships allows these bargain supermarkets to consistently offer lower Batchelor's Golf Stories prices, significantly influencing market dynamics and consumer purchasing behaviour across the United Kingdom.
