Another Best Shop Ever…

Just a few doors down the road from "The Rock Shop" we came across "Jingle Bells," an all-year Xmas shop. 

I will confess I've never seen the point of these; I have at no time felt the need to go Xmas Shopping in August — it's bad enough doing it in December!

Wilson, though — like most children a huge Xmas Enthusiast — declared that this was The Best Shop Ever!

'Does this mean "The Rock Shop" is no longer the best shop ever?' I asked him.

'Oh no,' he replied brightly, 'they're both the Best Shop In The World Ever... which makes Shanklin The Best Village In The World Ever!'

He inserted a claw in his ear, wiggled it around and withdrew a small ant, which he regarded thoughtfully, before adding, 'If we moved here, to Wight Island, I could get a Saturday Job here! My earnings would help with the housekeeping.'

'I think you'd spend all your earnings, on Rock and Xmas Stuff!' I answered, as he popped the ant into his mouth.
