Have said it before, but when walking around places such as the Trafford Centre (the design of this also reminds one of religious buildings, with large dome roofs, gilt plasterwork ,
latin inscriptions and statues inside etc), one is automatically reminded of Temples. Apart from some food stores, there is nothing inside which one actually
needs to survive. They truly are Temples of Nothingness, all paying homage to the god of money.
It certainly makes you think that 'Shopping' has been elevated to the status it now enjoys Dex. It amuses me while watching quiz shows when the contestants are asked what they would do with the winnings, and most of the women would go shopping, and buy more shoes, or jewelry, or clothes. They might want to go travelling, see the world, to find more shops.
Money seems to have no value these days, especially when you don't even handle any after it's spirited away like magic from your account in an instant. And you have no need to worry, when it's gone there are endless amounts to be had by using your credit card.
It's a far cry from the fifties when you were classed as well off if you could afford to put some meat on the table for Sunday dinner...
