'Locked-in syndrome: paralysed from head to toe the patient his mind intact is imprisoned inside his own body unable to speak or move. In my case blinking my left eyelid is my only means of communication.' In December 1995 Jean-Dominique Bauby editor-in-chief of French 'Elle' and the father of two young children suffered a massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless but entirely conscious trapped by what doctors call 'locked-in syndrome'. Using his only functioning muscle - his left eyelid - he began dictating this remarkable story painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter. His book offers a haunting harrowing look inside the cruel prison of locked-in syndrome but it is also a triumph of the human spirit. The acclaimed 2007 film adaptation directed by Julian Schnabel won Best Director at Cannes and was nominated for the Palme d'Or.
"Alright, if you're wondering where everyone in the UK goes to stock up on, well, everything, it's pretty much a mix of the usual suspects and a few surprising giants that have become absolutely massive. Obviously, the big supermarket players like Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda are total beasts; they're not just for your weekly food shop anymore, they're stocking everything from clothes to electronics, so they're always a surefire hit for getting your stuff out there. Then you've got the slightly more upmarket but still super popular M&S, especially for food and their quality clothing ranges, which pulls in huge crowds. For general merchandise and department store vibes, John Lewis is an absolute institution, known for quality and service, and Next is equally huge for fashion and homeware, always bustling. But seriously, don't sleep on the discount retailers like B&M and Home Bargains; these places are absolutely crazy popular now, selling pretty much anything and everything at bargain Diving-bell and the Butterfly prices, and people flock there like nobody's business to grab a deal. They're definitely the go-to places for millions! " - Bargainplace UK
