"Not so. The brothers were talking of selling up once
their father died. Sainsbury's Local had nothing to
do with their decision."

...

This contrast between local family owned stores and
the big chains reminds me of one of my favourite
scenes from the "Sopranos". A local cafe has
changed hands and Patsy Paresi and Paulie Walnuts
are sent to "shake down" the new owner and remind
him of the extra costs of doing business in their
locality.
"Hey son get me the manager" fetches manager "I'm
the manager how can I help you ?" - "Yeah you pay
us $500 a week and your windows don't get broken.
O.K? " "Well I'm sorry but I'll first have to refer
that extra expenditure to head office for approval.
You see we're part of a 200 strong chain"
Patsy and Paulie leave the shop in a state of
total confusion. "That's typical of what's wrong
with this country today. All our small local
businesses are being taken over by big chains
