Comments on: A Misplaced Habit: the slow death of the newsagent (and the church?) https://mikefrost.net/misplaced-habit-slow-death-newsagent-church/ AUTHOR | SPEAKER | MISSIOLOGIST | AGITATOR Sat, 14 Jul 2018 23:07:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.4 By: Alan l https://mikefrost.net/misplaced-habit-slow-death-newsagent-church/#comment-6325 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 23:07:02 +0000 https://mikefrost.net/?p=27582#comment-6325 Misplaced notalgia. The dirty butcher shut tight at midday Saturday. Newspapers and cigarettes bought together.

My mornings usually started with a fresh pack of Wills Super Mild and the paper from the newsagent next door to the station.

Haven’t smoked for 25 years and just read the Age SMH and the Guardian on my 6″ screen. Still take the train to work.

Email or SMS birthday greetings.

Woolworths for stationery.

What truly amazes me is the rude health of most pharmacies whilst the shopping streets they are in see evolve into decay.
