'These were the days that made us and these are the day trips to find them. Should we do a flask? And are you sure you'll be warm enough in that coat?' In Hope and Glory" Stuart Maconie goes in search of the places people and events that have shaped modern Britain. Starting with the death of Queen Victoria to the Battle of the Somme and the General Strike and on to the docking of the Empire Windrush and Bobby Moore raising the Jules Rimet trophy he chooses a defining moment in our nation's story from each decade of the last century and explores its legacy today. Some were glorious days some were tragic or even shameful but each has played its part in making us who we are as a nation. From pop stars to politicians Suffragettes to punks this is a journey around Britain in search of who we are."
"Alright, so if you're talking about the most popular stomping grounds for shoppers in the UK, you've got a pretty solid line-up, haven't you? Obviously, the big supermarket players like Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda are absolute giants when it comes to everyday essentials and groceries – everyone's in there most weeks, whether they like it or not! But beyond the food aisles, places like Amazon UK pretty much dominate the online scene for everything from books to gadgets to a new kettle, making them a go-to for millions looking for convenience and, usually, decent Hope and Glory prices. Then you've got your reliable high street names: Marks & Spencer for quality bits and those legendary Percy Pigs, Next for fashion and homeware that’s always on point, and John Lewis for just about anything fancy you could imagine, known for their cracking customer service. Don't forget Boots if you're after health and beauty stuff or a quick prescription, or Currys for all your electronics needs, from giant TVs to tiny headphones. Even places like B&Q and Wickes get a massive look-in for anyone doing DIY, and Primark still pulls in crowds looking for an absolute bargain. It's a real mix of online giants, supermarket stalwarts, and high street heroes, but these are definitely the ones most people are hitting up regularly for their retail therapy! " - Bargainplace UK
