I suppose you can buy most stuff from the internet these days, so it 
wouldn't really matter.

True, I suppose, but I do quite like the look of all those little specialist 
food shops one sees on't tellybox and just wondered where there might be a 
proliferation of them. Obviously rich areas, which is why Thanet has none, 
but which would be the foodie town/village of choice? I hear Cornwall 
(Truro?) has a magnificent food market, for example.

Physically shopping is often part of the fun for many people. I've been
impressed by Oxford- I'm sure there are other cities/towns though.

Shurely shome mishtake. .If you're sent goods by post the PO  bring it
to your door, you don't go to the PO:-)

Many internet-fresh-food sellers don't send goods through the post, they
use carriers. If you don't live in the carrier's delivery area, they
won't do business with you.

A few years ago, a colleague in Houston ordered some cheese (Stilton I 
think) to be deliverd by a courier service.  They left it on his front door 
step so that it had a full day to "mature" in a Houston summer!

I think that that was all it was good for!!!!!  He fancied himself as a bit 
of a gourmet but to see him eat, he was more of a gorge-met!  Anyway, he 
stopped subscribing to the cheese club.

Incidentally, I was in Houston last January and was taken to a sort of tapas 
resto.  One could order wines by the "flight"  i.e., 3 or 4 1oz glasses of 
different Bordeaux, or of Italian reds or Argie malbecs etc., etc.  My host 
said it was the fashionable thing.  Are there places like that in the UK?
