Why? Well, it&rsquo;s daylight robbery and mostly bare of anything useful. The Co-op prices are way above any of their competitors on the mainland as there are none on the island and they effectively have a monopoly, although Lidl are holding a public meeting in Portree about plans for a new shop. But that&rsquo;s not the story I want to tell today. Today I had a glimpse of a very different world. A world where people with nothing better to do, sit in the carpeted corridors of government and make up novel uses for everyday products. Or perhaps it was Co-op policy. I&rsquo;m not sure so I might email them, just out of curiosity.</p>
