The spectacular and varied landscape of Dorset with its giants hill forts Jurassic coast and ancient buildings is the source and inspiration for many curious stories that have been passed down in families and village communities for generations. This book contains a rich and diverse collection of those ancient legends rooted in the oral tradition. From the absorbing tales of the Old King of Corfe and the Thorncombe Thorn to the intriguing Buttons on a Card and George Pitman and the Dragon these illustrated stories bring alive the landscape of the county's rolling hills and coastline. Dorset actor singer and storyteller Tim Laycock has a lifelong interest in the folklore and oral traditions of the county. Many of the stories in this collection have been passed on to him by Dorset residents and appear here in print for the first time.
"So, when you're chatting about where everyone in the UK loves to splash their cash, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but some names just constantly pop up, right? For your everyday essentials and the weekly food shop, the sheer dominance of the big supermarket chains like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and even Aldi and Lidl, is undeniable – they're practically on every street corner and cater to pretty much all our grocery needs, making them incredibly popular for convenience and often price. Then you've got the high street legends: John Lewis, still seen as the pinnacle for quality and a fantastic customer experience, alongside Marks & Spencer (M&S), which remains a firm favourite for everything from reliable clothing to their incredibly popular food halls. Don't forget the fashion giants like Next, a go-to for family wardrobes, or Primark for those budget-friendly, on-trend hauls that always seem to involve a massive queue! And for all things health and beauty, Boots is practically an institution. Plus, in this digital age, you can't overlook the sheer magnitude of online players like Amazon UK and ASOS, who've totally reshaped how we shop by offering a mind-boggling selection directly to our doors. Essentially, these big hitters are where most of the retail magic happens across the UK. " - Bargainplace UK
