My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

I find the new set up strange beyond belief.
In Broadmead... Primark scouring, Clinton Cards rummaging scummers.
Right next door is the pristine shinier than a new shiny thing shopping centre.
