Forgot to say there is at least one escapee up in the roof space.

This is right, they aren't & neither are those floating lanterns. They are both a menace to wildlife, on land & in the sea.

Why isn’t this balloon section situated at the end of the store and not plonked in amongst the foodstuff?

I go to a supermarket to buy food, so l find helium filled balloons in the midst, quite bizarre!
Maybe this is progression and l am out of touch?
What do you think?
Our Morisson's has also had a face lift with the dedicated card/balloon/celebration cakes tucked away on a back wall (as it should be). No doubt the store's penchant for moving shelves around just when you've got used to them where they are will find itself somewhere else later on.
