SO, who will NOT be the flavour of the month when you explain to your children that because Mr Woodhouse, who looks after the shop called M&S, does not want the fair outside and because M&S is a big business, they cannot visit the fair in High Town, although it has been held there for generations and is a tradition?

You go on to explain that because Big Business does not give a jot for tradition and is only concerned about making more money, they seem able to persuade people to do as they demand.

It is to be hoped the new Herefordshire councillors will do as the Herefordians ask, not as big business demands.
