John Lewis The Place to Eat Highcross Leicester, I would not be surprised if this was the next store to close.

John Lewis The Place to Eat Highcross Leicester, I would not be surprised if this was the next store to close. Although the service in the cafe was good, the shop floor service is dreadful plenty of staff standing around chatting to each other rather disinterested in customers and just like M&S they don't seem to have stock and offer to order items on-line  for me. I certainly did not want to take that chance my mum has ordered a basic table and chairs from them and they have taken the money and give an estimated delivery date of one month away and if I wanted to shop on-line I would not have travelled to the store. The item I wanted from the electrical department was available from Amazon for the same price it arrived this 8 hours later and the computer gave me information about the product that the sales assistant could not give me. 🙁

IF Rudyard Kipling's poem

Sent to me by a kind friend...

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
